My parents freighted me as a child.
They'd go to Monte Carlo on vacation, flying Swissaire, first class. Champagne, caviar, Chateaubriand.

They'd ship me in a dog crate in the baggage hold.
And then they'd leave me at baggage claim for the first two days so they wouldn't have to pay for a babysitter.

I only had a box of Cheerios and one of those hamster sucky water bottles in the crate. I had to wear Ultra-Absorbent Pampers.

And even when they finally came to get me, I had to wear a dog collar and a leash. The hotel didn't charge for 'pets'.

3. You were lucky!
We used to lie in bed DREAMING of a hamster sucky bottle. My parents would just spit in our mouths before locking us up in the basement before leaving on vacation.

Of course, tell that to kids now-a-days and they won't believe you.

4. L-U-X-U-R-Y!
We didn't know the word VACATION.
We lived in a shoebox in the middle of the street.
We were LUCKY if it had a lid!
