A memorable layover in Chicago

During our layover in Chicago, Nalini was playing all over the aircraft. She also liked to watch the other airplanes through the windows. All of a sudden, she starts screaming as she's looking out: "My stroller, my stroller, my stroller!" When I look out of the window, I notice Nalini's stroller driving off on the back of a truck. It turns out that they took it out in Chicago by mistake, and forgot to put it back in the airplane. I notified the flight assistant of the incident, and our stroller was returned to the airplane. After I talked to the flight assistant, another passenger said impressed: "She was the one to notice that her stroller was missing? That's amazing!". I turned to Nalini and told her "This is really impressive, I'm so proud of you. You are a smart one!" She nodded and said: "Yeah."

A few minutes later, Nalini was playing with the lights over our seats, and turned on the light for the flight assistant. As a response, a very good-looking, very gay, male flight assistant came to our seats, and asked jokingly: "Yes, can I help you ma'm?". Nalini turned red, and she smiled shily. As the good-looking man turned away, she added: "I love you".

Nothing can stop this girl.
