A Wing And A Praline Conveyor

Me: “Hello, how can I help you?”

Caller: “Yes, my daughter is right outside her flight but they won’t let her on. She has a pet bird she’s taking with her as her carry-on, and I KNOW we have it cleared so she can do that!”

Me: “Okay, ma’am, one moment while I pull up your daughter’s flight information.”

(I look through the information, and it’s all there. She has permission to take the little pet bird onto the plane as long as she keeps it in her lap. Curious about what the issue could be, I call up the person at the desk at her flight. After a moment of talking, I return to the caller on the phone.)

Me: “Ma’am, I found out what the problem is.”

Caller: “There shouldn’t be a problem! My daughter has permission to take her bird on the plane with her!”

Me: “Ma’am, you can’t take a pet bird on a plane in a cookie jar…”
