Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are more parents flying with kids bringing portable DVD players now? I'd think that'd be pretty good at occupying them.

More and more planes are coming with videoscreens in the back of the seat and multiple channels. Emmett favors Jet Blue because they carry the Boomerang network.

And TLC and Discovery! Mythbusters!

I think actually it helped having three of us, since we would entertain each other.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I was very self-entertaining from about the age of 3, to the point of becoming very irritated if anyone interrupted my Winnie-The-Pooh reading time.

videoscreens in the back of the seat

Those are fine, it's the touchscreens in Virgin planes that bug me. People do not seem to get that jabbing the screen=moving the headrest.

I will state that I was self-entertaining, except for the part where I was trapped in a car for hours with my irritating little brother, so irritations would escalate into screaming and hitting matches and then parental intervention was required. But other than THAT, I was fine with a book.

Hey! Plei stole my childhood.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hey! Plei stole my childhood.

Were you also driving to visit maternal relatives in Canada? You probably were! Hey! It's like we're the same person!

And Plei stole MY childhood too -- except I had two brothers. And they were twins!

Emmett does spend a huge amount of time entertaining Matilda, but now he'd selfishly want to watch the Boomerang channel instead.

Coding and Sleeping

If by entertaining you mean annoying each other, then my kids entertain each other a lot.
