A youngster was on her first airplane flight and to say she was “excited” was an understatement. She peeked in the cockpit as she entered the plane, found the seat where she and her mother were to be located. Her mother asked her to put her backpack in the overhead bin, and the girl quickly jumped on the seat to reach it herself.
The stewardess walked down the aisle and asked the girl, still standing on her seat, if she knew what type of plane she was on. When the youngster shook her head, the lady said it was a Boeing 757. With a big smile the girl started jumping on her seat shouting, "Boeing Boeing Boeing".
The attendant, clearly annoyed by this, looked at her sternly and said, "Be silent".
After a couple of seconds, the girl started jumping again on her seat, this time shouting, "Oeing Oeing Oeing".
