ME: Mom, wear pants on the plane, okay?
MOM: Maureen! I wear a dress.
ME: Don't. Flying is horrible. Like being in garbage can thrown into the sky, even at the best of times.
MOM: My dress is very comfortable. Also...
ME: You don't understand.
MOM: Besides, the air staff prefer it if you dress up.
ME: They will regard you with wonder and suspicion.
MOM; Maureen, I just don't wear slacks on a plane
