A Child’s Conversation on a Plane

Why are we so high?
We’re going above the clouds!
Mummy, we’re above the world!
Look at the clouds, Mummy!
We’re above the trees now!
Mummy, why did you say
Goodbye, Daddy?
Was your Daddy here?
Can I have a snack?
Why are you crying, Mummy?
We’re going home, right?
Isn’t the sun pretty, Mummy?
Look! It’s so bright!
