On my way to NEW YORK

With Tia Kesha
I was soooooooo hHHHyyyyYYpPpppeEEErRRrr .... clapping and screaming inside the plane. Tia Kesha told me I could not scream inside the plane and I asked her: " WHY can't I scream inside the plane? WHY?"...

We were stuck on the tarmac for a long time (something about some guy who thinks he is a big shot traveling with us...the prime mister whatever)...so while we were waiting around I kept on asking: "are we moving ?" and Tia Kesha kept on answering no, that we are still on the ground and I was quick with my favorite word of the month "WHY?"

as soon as we got in the air, i asked "are we not moving?" and she said that we were moving and I off course asked "WHY?"

I am glad Tia kesha went with me on the plane. I took good care of her and played and played with her, otherwise she would have had to sleep, how boring!!!!
