Dear Diary:
While waiting on the business class boarding line at J.F.K., I spied parents with their 3-month-old daughter.
This American Airlines flight to Barbados was going to be long, and the thought of a crying baby near me in business class did not make me smile.
What did make me smile was watching her mom, after we were all seated comfortably, distribute little goody bags filled with Advil, tea bags and ear plugs, complete with a photo of Ms. Baby to passengers in her vicinity, just in case.
