Tales From Terminal A

Ever seen a grown man act like a child? I did this morning. The scene at the ticket counter went something like this:

Man-Child: "I don't want another flight, I want this one!"
Weary Employee: "Sir, I'm sorry, I can't give you a boarding pass for this flight."
Man-Child: "I want one!"
WE : "Sir-"
MC: "I want one!"

As I walked on by I am pretty sure I heard "I want one, I want one..." in an endless pouting mantra. Had I not been so anxious to check in for my flight I would have stayed to watch this individual begin stomping his feet and the ultimately collapse to the floor kicking and screaming.
