This was 10 years ago so I don't remember it very well but my mom and my Nana have told me the story many times Key Mom-my mom Nana-my grandmother Me-me EM-entitled mom EK-entitled kid
So for my bday in 2009 my mom decided to take me to Oklahoma to meet some of her family we went by plane as it would be quick and we would be there by my birthday. On this plane my mom paid about $15 more to have the seats with tv screens on the back of the seat in front of you so I wouldn't be scared about being on a plane. Now this was a couple months after the movie Coraline came out. It was and arguably still is my favorite movie. So it was on the movie list and my mom let me watch it. I put on the headphones provided as to not disturb anymore passengers. A little while had gone by and it was starting to get to the point where it was a little bit scarier. I could hear through the headphones but not very well but all I know is I heard a girl start screaming, coincidently it was one of the scary parts of the movie. I flinched at the scream being pretty young and paused the movie and pushed the headphones off my ears. I don't remember the exact conversation but my mom said it went like this:
EK:still screaming
EM:it's ok darling it's alright YOU! turns to my mom HOW DARE YOU PUT ON SUCH A SCARY MOVIE FOR YOUR CHILD?! ITS SCARING POOR EK. TURN IT OFF! NOW!
Now the EK was older than me. I was 4 at the time and the girl was about 8 or 9 according to my mom
Mom:I shouldn't have to cater to other passengers, I paid a bit extra for these seats and I want my child to enjoy it. If your kid is scared she doesn't have to watch.
EM:She's bored!! Just because we aren't rich like you doesn't mean she has to be bored the whole time!! Now turn it to a more kid friendly movie so EK can watch or I'll get the pilot!
Nana:Miss these seats were only $15 extra. If you didn't want your kid to be bored you should've paid. Get the pilot but we are not changing the movie. OP you can keep watching.
So being young and not really understanding I put my headphones on but I could still hear the muffled argument going on. Anyway apparently EM presses the service button and yelled at the flight attendant to see the pilot. Now since the pilot obviously had to control the plane the co-pilot came to the woman
CP:what seems to be the problem miss?
EM:THOSE HORRIBLE WOMEN WONT CHANGE THEIR CHILDS MOVIE TO SOMETHING LESS SCARY SO MY LITTLE EK CAN WATCH!
CP:they paid extra for those seats unfortunately so they don't have to do anything beside what the want to
EK:mommy!! I don't like that movie!
EM:I know darling mommy's handling it. WELL EK IS BORED. CAN WE GET AN UPGRADE AT LEAST?!
CP:I'll see what I can do.
Now my mom was PISSED that this woman might be getting a free upgrade besides being a terrible person. But because my mom is respectful she didn't say anything. The CP came back and started talking to the woman.
CP-there are three extra seats in first class with tv screens and complimentary drinks. Is this good?
EM:already standing up yes that is wonderful. Thank you.
CP:Ok turns to my mom would you and your other two guests like to be moved?
Mom:us?
CP:yes we'd like to give you an upgrade for having to deal with rude behavior
EM stood there absolutely SHOCKED as my mom of course agreed. We enjoyed our time in first class as I got free refills on apple juice the rest of the flight and watched my movies in peace
