I just returned from a short trip in which I flew on a plane with my toddler, alone. Needless to say, I am totally exhausted and now know the real reason they put harness belts in strollers. To keep the kid in there while he flails around… not so much as a safety measure. I also learned that Hertz has a GPS system called NeverLost which they should rename NotGoingTheRightWayEVER. I did about 40 billion 3 point turns in the last few days. Also? Why is it required to remove flip flops in airport security? I doubt I can smuggle a bomb in the sole of my $10 JCrew sandals. Ewww barefoot in the airport.
Back to our regularly scheduled R rated programming…

i’ve heard people jokingly call it “everlost” ... guess that’s pretty accurate.

You are a better person than I. I don’t think I would brave traveling alone with my children. Well, not without Xanax!

I called it “Always Lost”. I used it on my first trip to Chicago, when I was young, and stupid (last year), and didn’t know that one should not drive in downtown Chicago. It did great on the interstate, but as soon as I was downtown, where I actually needed assistance with where to turn? It sucked.
Some airports have “antibacterial mats” for you to step on barefoot. Antibacterial. Mat. Uh-huh. I bet they paid thousands for that warm fuzzy.

Yeah, I don’t get the whole taking the shoe off thing either. Isn’t it easier to just stick a plastic explosive device down the front of your pants than to try to install it somehow in your shoe? That makes about as much sense as the questions they ask you:
“Did you pack your bags?”
“Have your bags left your person for any length of time since you packed them?”
Oooh, I feel safer now! They *asked* about my bags!
