I was on a 4-hour flight. My baby was screaming. I mean, purple-faced, lung-shattering screaming. I tried everything—milk, pacifier, walking the aisle. Nothing worked. Passengers were rolling their eyes, sighing, and putting on headphones. I felt like the worst mom in the world.
Sitting next to me was a giant man. Long greasy hair, beard, leather vest, piercings in his eyebrows. He looked like he walked out of a biker bar fight. I was terrified he was going to yell at me.
Instead, he held out his hands. 'I got three of my own, darlin',' he rumbled. 'You look like you need a break.'
I was so desperate, I handed him the baby.
He rested my son on his massive chest and started humming a low, deep rumble. Within 30 seconds, my baby was asleep.
The scary biker held him for the entire flight so I could nap. When we landed, he handed him back. 'He just needed a sturdy pillow,' he winked.
Kindness comes in all shapes and sizes.
The girl's reaction to hitting the stuffed toy is not an act of rudeness. It's an impulsive defense response to what his nervous system registered as a threat: someone pulled off the scene, unannounced and violently, what he loved most at the time.
From respectful upbringing, this is what we learn:
Many players come and go without making any impression. And then there are players like CJ, who just get it. Runs his socks off, terrific football intelligence and the heart of a lion. For impact alone, he’s up there with the Tranmere greats in my opinion #TRFC
It’s Dave Challinor’s birthday today.
Former Tranmere Rovers defender and one-time world record holder for the longest ever football throw-in.
At the turn of the century, there was nothing but chaos whenever he had the ball in his hands…
Tranmere’s last-gasp comeback at Accrington was the perfect example of why we all love football so much. Those who think the game is all about trophies are missing the point.
We’re overwhelmed by all the generous donations from Traitors fans after hearing @alexanderdragonetti’s story! 🎉
You’d wanted to know how much has been raised...
Over £30,000 has been donated since Friday by 2,000 people and the total is going up all the time!
Beyoncé and Jay Z criticized for 12 year old daughter’s red carpet dress, with social media users branding the strapless dress ‘inappropriate’ for a child.
With the clubs playing in Europe now being kept apart from each other in the Carabao Cup, it’s probably time we reformed the competition so that if you’re playing Europe, you don’t compete in the League Cup. Ridiculous to give them an advantage they literally do not need.
Joe Murphy was between the sticks for @TranmereRovers for the 2000 League Cup final against @LCFC and could very well be between the sticks as we face them again in 2024. Some career that! #TRFC
