Four out of five aint bad

Israeli couple forgets one of their kids at the airport.

An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free purchases and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said Monday.

The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost. Israeli media said the parents of the forgotten girl were an ultra-Orthodox Jewish couple but did not give their names.

Rosenfeld said the parents were unaware they had boarded the aircraft with only four children instead of five until they were informed by cabin staff after 40 minutes in the air.

    If I had to worry about getting 18 suitcases on the plane, I would probably forget to get on the plane myself.

    The bidding on this barely-used white baby will start at…

    Ten bucks for the gall bladder!

    Dad must have been watching that one.

    Presumably they were not flying with an airline that makes you pay a fee for each additional suitcase…

    Or perhaps, that was the tradeoff … “Hm, honey, I don’t know if we can afford to take all five kids AND the 18 suitcases….”
