amazonvera, on the "joys" of flying with young children:

I hate even traveling by plane with luggage the size of 3-year-old, and it's not independently mobile or capable of making noise or defecating.

context is not leaving on a jet-plane. unlocked, QWP.

Edit: makes a lot more sense that way, doesn't it?

First, her phone took up the life of a greased otter when her mom called, and then...

The cat tearing down the hallway set off the beagle, who lunged from under the bed after the cat, baying hysterically, which did nothing for the cat’s nerves. Cat and beagle streaked down the hallway. Cat made the turn successfully and went off down the steps. The beagle…did not.

Unfortunately, his failure to make the turn meant that he hit a litterbox.

Context wants to know what her mom was calling about.

QWP, open post.
