Friends and family have been staking their bets, making predictions as to when our little baby (fondly nicknamed ‘Jed’) will arrive, but there have been no signs yet. Already our little one is 4 days past his/her due date, and a few of our friends and family have been forced to change their prediction to a later day.
This amusing situation reminds me of a scene from the movie “Airplane.” For those of you who have not seen it, the movie is basically a spoof off of a number of films. The general plot involves a passenger plane which suddenly experiences several cases of food poisoning, the pilot and co-pilot being among the victims. A psychologically traumatized fighter pilot who happens to be onboard is called upon to fly and attempt to land the aircraft at the destined airport. He eventually consents, and as he brings the plane careening down the runway, it rolls past its docking bay where a crowd of passengers is waiting to board. The announcement is made over the airport intercom that the plane is now stopping at “docking bay number 21…number 22…number 23…number 24.” The waiting passengers climb to their feet, looking confused, and begin moving from docking bay to docking bay with their luggage, eventually running through the airport trying to keep up with the arriving plane.
In similar fashion, it seems the our little one is forcing everyone to move from one day to the next in their predictions. Rather comical, if you ask me.
