Each time I read this I'm imagining the FA taking the tone that a parent or teacher would take with a 4-year-old who doesn't quite fully grasp numbers yet "Ok, Johnny, your seat is in row 1... Let's count 1...2...3...4...oops, maybe you went too far"

But also,
  • thank you for not letting evil win.
  • Rumor has it that 4A on the 550 was Oscar's favorite seat in the [non-lay-flat] fleet
  • It always amuses me when parents are boarding with children and they're like "We're in row 136, lets count... 1...2...3...uh...7...8..10...11...12...15...21..." pity the child that learns their numbers from a United seat map
