When a mother boarded a 10-hour flight from Seoul to San Francisco, little did the passengers know they would experience a rare act of kindness. The mother, traveling with her 4-month-old baby, had a plan to win over her fellow travelers, anticipating a common struggle that all parents face: calming a fussy infant on a long-haul flight.
As the plane was filled to capacity with over 200 passengers, the mother distributed goodie bags to each person. The bags contained candy, chewing gum, and earplugs, along with a heartfelt note written from the perspective of her baby, Junwoo. The note began, "Hello, I’m Junwoo, and I’m 4 months old," explaining that this was his first flight and that he might cry or cause some disturbance due to nervousness.
