A man and a woman are settling into their plane seats, buckling up and preparing for take-off. 

The man gets out his newspaper and gives it a shake, clearly settling in for a lengthy journey, as the elderly woman in the next seat turns to him.

“Are you visiting family,” she asks. “No, business,” the man answers, seeming reluctant to enter into a conversation.

Undeterred, the woman goes on. “Well, I’m going to visit my daughter and my new grandson. Oh, the pictures she’s already sent me! He’s just gorgeous – of course, he has my looks – and so smart already, he picked up breast-feeding right away, and sleeping well.

“Let me tell you about his sleep schedule, he’s already sleeping eight hours a night. And pooping like a champion, going through 10 nappies a day, and the consistency of his poo is just right, so the doctor says. But you would believe the experience my daughter had giving birth. Well, let me tell you all about it …”

The woman pauses, noticing that the man seems disgruntled. “Oh, I am sorry,” she says. “I’m not giving you a chance to get a word in edgewise!”

The man’s face brightens up a little, until she goes on. “So, what do you think about my grandson …”
