Parents Forget 3 Year Old at Airport

Posted by Cole Gamble

It’s a given that anytime you take a vacation you’re gonna forget something behind. A pair of socks, that copy of Breaking Dawn you’re reading. It’s a little bit more of an alarming sign if you leave your kid behind. And then don’t realize it until you are informed by airline staff…once you’re already in the air.

 

A couple on route to a European vacation somehow succeeded in getting their 18 suitcases and four children on the plane. Only problem was, they have five children.

 

We’ve all seen Home Alone and know full well what kind of wacky hijinks an adorable young man and a couple of rascally burglars can get into. Then there’s The Terminal, where we’re delighted by the wacky hijinks of an adorable foreign man and a rascally airport manager. Put them together and you’ve got this story. Except, not wacky and utterly stupid on the parents’ part.

 

The lost little girl did manage to reunite with her family in Paris on the next flight.

Sounds like the Home Alone movie for sure. The only thing I lost at the airport is my travel and iPod. The ticket they re-printed and the iPod......well, right now I'm using my laptop as one! :)
