Just decided to add my two cents.

Anyone who knows me knows i like children about as much as most people like tarantulas.

Despite that i want to slap that stewardess until her face turns blue.

That mom and her kid did not deserve to be kicked off the plane.

Yeah, i would have been annoyed with the kid, very annoyed; but if you're getting on a plane you have to expect the worst. It's a commercial airline for crying out loud.

And yes, i agree... for being delayed for 11 hours it sounds like the kid was well behaved.
