Paradocs (sorry didn't see the pun until actually tyoing this). Sorry, I quite agree with you. My remarks were addressed to those who during the string admited that their small children had to be consoled with an ice cream sundae. 13 and 16 is no longer considered to be a child by the airlines or anyone else, and is not quite that which I had in mind. I doubt (and I hope that this sounds jokey and not sarcastic as it is not meant that way) that either have sat on your lap and needed to be fed a sundae! I suspec that you have taken flack in the past. None was intended. What I saw were 5 or 6 year olds on an LAX-HNL. They came looking for their Mum and Dad quite understandably.

Best Wishes
