Lily was on a flight with her newborn son. Everything was good until the plane took off. From then her son was continuously crying. She tried to calm him down but he wasn't. Then she stood up and was walking taking him in her lap.

The man next to her seat was disgusted with it. He was commenting continuously. He asked Lily if that nasty brat ever shut up. "That nasty brat!" Lily knew he was calling her son by that. And she was hurt by his behavior. He again complained that he had been crying like hell since they had taken off. Lily said sorry to him and also said that her son was just 3 months old. The man called her a fool and asked who flew with a 3-month-old baby. She explained that her mom was very ill and they were on their way to see her. The man yet didn't feel sympathy for her, he said that he didn't care instead. He ordered her to just shut him up.

Lily politely replied that she was doing her best. He rebuked her saying if that was her best, she was a useless mother. Poor Lily was again hurt by him but tried different ways of calming her baby. But it was all to no avail. He was still crying. Then she could understand the reason for his crying. He was hungry and she had no choice but to breastfeed her son right next to her angry seatmate. When the man noticed her, he said, "Ew, Gross; that's disgusting!" He told her to stop it right then or he would throw up. But she replied that her son was hungry and it would calm him down.

The man stood up with anger and showed her the way to the bathroom. He told her to go and feed her son in the bathroom, not there. In despair, Lily looked around for a show of support from the other passengers, but none of them stepped in or stood up for her. But she didn't leave her seat. So, the angry man, Peter called the stewardess and complained that he had enough of that. The stewardess asked him how she could help him. He told her to throw that brat away or change his seat. She replied that there were no empty seats. Then she left and the baby kept crying.

Peter was silent for a while and then he again started that. He told Lily that he bet he cried because she was the worst mother ever. Then he said that it was too bad that she was not born barren. Lily couldn't endure more. She started crying. Peter could have continued insulting her, but a young boy interrupted him. He happily told him that he would trade places with him. Peter also became happy and asked Lily if that was not good news. The boy said that he was in seat 33D at the back of the plane. Peter didn't care and said that anywhere else was better than there. He wished the boy good luck and happily went to his seat. Back then, Peter didn't know he would need the luck himself because the place that kind boy offered him would be a lot worse than the one next to Lily.

When Lily was calming her son down, the boy said to her that he had a baby brother and so he knew it was not easy. She said that noting she did seem to calm him down. The boy happily asked her if she would let him hold her son. Lily hesitated but she handed her squalling son over. The boy started cradling the baby and said, "Hey, buddy! the big bad world got him scared. Nick's soothing voice and his tranquility quickly calmed Lily's son down and soon he was fast asleep. Lily exclaimed that it was unbelievable and she thanked Nick. He replied that he was always glad to help good people. But he added that he bet that angry man was still unhappy. Lily felt interested and asked the reason.

He replied that Peter was sitting next to his grandpa. He was old had gas problems plus he had peas for lunch. Nick and Lily both laughed imagining the situation of Peter. So, while little Austin slept peacefully for the rest of the flight, Peter not only had to deal with unpleasant smells, but he was also sitting right next to the toilet. So, people kept walking by and pushing past him. And listening to the silence from the front of the plane, Peter regretted agreeing to the change.

Remember, be careful how you treat people. What you do to others has a funny way of coming back to you.

The guy must be stupid to act in such a way. Shouldn't he see that the baby was just a small kid who knows nothing. Didn't he cried when he was small? Such a bad attitude from him. I thought the worse than that would happened to him so he can realize that what he did was very wrong. The passengers too were fool. None could even defend Lily. Thank God the young boy came in for her.

People forget about their past and their miseries when they become well off. Few people just can remember this and act in a kind way but most of them are ungrateful and act like that fool man.

This is so funny! I was surprised that the man did not throw a tantrum after finding out that he traded for a worse seat. But still, it is a good way to show that being a bit kinder to people can mean the difference between a having comfortable place or a place near the toilet.
