I can't hear!!!

I am back in Oklahoma and it feels really good. It's always nice to be around family. The flights yesterday evening weren't too bad.

On the flight from Tampa to Kansas City, there was a boy, probably four years old sitting across the row from us. When the plane began to descend, his hears began to pop and he flipped out. He was crying, so his Dad calmly asked why he was crying. "I can't hear" was his emphatic answer.

We cracked up as over and over again, his Dad would try to call him down and his response to his Dad's talking was that his hears were hurting, he could not hear.

Finally, he followed his Dad's instruction, (although I'm unsure how he was able to understand what his Dad's instructions were) drank some water and his ears popped. From then on, every few minutes he was chugging his water.

Some people drink water to stay healthy, others drink it because it restores hearing. Just another reason to drink water.
