We were ready for take-off.  ‘Fasten your seatbelts please and switch off all mobile phones’.

A hand went up and a voice said ‘I have a rabbit’.

‘I’m sorry there will be a few minutes delay’

‘You’re not allowed to bring animals on board’ I said, as I confiscated the rabbit.

I took the rabbit and picked up the phone to ring security.

‘Would you please come and take a rabbit away’

‘Thank you, we are now ready for take-off’.

Again a hand shot up.  ‘I have a giraffe’

‘I’m sorry about this ladies and gentlemen, there will be another short delay’

With a struggle I managed to get the giraffe into the aisle.

I picked up the phone and rang security again.

‘Could you please come and take a giraffe off the plane’

‘Again, I must apologise for the delay, which was due to a disruptive passenger’

‘ME!!!’ shouted my 3 year old granddaughter Beth, as she shot her hand up in the air again.

She was sitting on our landing in our imaginary aircraft!
