A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago.
The little boy had been looking out of the window with a contemplative look, when he turned to his mother and asked, “If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
The mother couldn’t think of an immediate response, so she told her son to ask the flight attendant.
As his mother suggested, the boy strode down the aisle to the flight attendant and inquired, “If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
The busy flight attendant looked at the boy, smiled, and asked, “Did your mother tell you to ask me?” The boy replied, “Yes, she did.”
“Well,” said the flight attendant, “You tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you.”
