[mumeof3]

We are traveling down 8/17th with southwest and we are 2 families with kids ranging in age 10-16{5 kids}the family we are going with swears by usa3000,but this is my kids first trip on a plane and with a family of 5 we decided Southwest had the best deal ,last night we went to dinner with the other family and when we mentioned we were flying southwest,their daughter was like"ARE YOU KIDDEN ME?" hum she must have watched it on TV lol,so I laugh and said yes ,then we start talking about how we have to check in online 24hrs prior to get on the A list,the kids hear this,so we play it up by telling them we wont be sitting together and maybe spread out all over the plane ,so their daughter who is 14 again says "What",then my kid says well all I want is a window seat,so goofy me says"there are no windows on the plane" now this is getting good,their daughter says"WHY the HECK ARE WE FLYING THIS AIRLINE?so I say listen up if you want to vacation with my family this is all we could afford so get ready to run for a seat!!!I am so mean...
well this went on with 4 kids all night,why,what,are you nuts,we are gonna crash,so I said dont worry without windows you wont know anything!!!!
oh then I told them we have to carry all luggage on....

we leave the reastauraunt last night and my dh is like can you beleive these kids beleive everything?and my 16 year old is so smart I thought he really knew we were joking the whole time,he is in the back seat and say's"so there is no windows really??"ok this is a kid who could go to Harvard if he wanted duhhh dumb kid huh,think we will let this go on untill we board the plane....

That's funny. This will be the first flight for my family. I wish I would have thought of this prank before I told them. I would keep it going as long as you can.

Hope your family has a great time.

It sounds like you could have some more fun with your kids. Keep them going for awhile. Later, you could give them some even more crazy "facts" about Southwest airlines. Such as another reason that they are so cheap is that they don't have regular pilots, they only use people that are training to become pilots. Or they better go to the bathroom before they get on the plane since there will be no place to go. Have fun!

Or, even better than trainees - tell your kids that Southwest asks for volunteers to fly the plane!

You could tell them that the bathroom is an outhouse out on the wing...

Or tell them the seats are just benches like on military planes, and everyone has to wear a parachute, "just in case."

You are so evil...and I love it!

Oh, you're gooooooooooooooood!!!!

Tell them the airline is on a health conscious kick and the snack of the day will be a choice of asperagus or brussel sprouts and distilled water--or whatever veggie they think is "gross."
