Best Dad Ever Gives Candies To Plane Passengers, So His Daughter Could Still Trick-Or-Treat On Halloween

ADVERTISEMENT

One big hearted dad handed out sweets to passengers on a flight, so that his 3-year-old daughter could trick or treat on an airplane. People flying on board the Virgin America from Boston to San Francisco were handed candies and this note: “My 3-year-old daughter, Molly, was bummed that she wouldn’t be able to go trick-or-treating this year due to this flight, so I decided to bring trick-or-treating to her.” The dad also wrote: “If you are willing, when my little donut comes down the aisle, please drop this in her basket. You’ll be making her Halloween!”

Fellow traveler Stephanie Kahan, who is a mum-of-one from Boston, admitted that before the plane took off, she overheard the little girl behind her saying she couldn’t wait to trick or treat in San Francisco. “I was so sad for her because I thought she was planning to trick or treat when we landed, which was midnight in SF, and I knew she was going to be disappointed,” Kahan told HuffPost.

But the dad couldn’t allow his little pumpkin to be upset, and set the little girl for the most unforgettable in-the-air Halloween experience ever! Kahan said her heart was absolutely melted to see a happy girl dressed as a donut, trick-or-treating while walking the aisle. And she wasn’t the only one – the woman’s tweet about the kind dad went viral!

@ Emma E. - The passengers were not forced to do it, nor did the dad feel that he and his daughter were entitled to the special treatment. Don't be so bitter and let the child have her Halloween fun, they grow up so fast and childhood passes by in a flash, there's only so many years of trick or treating she can do. The dad just wanted to do what he could for his daughter not to miss out because of an unfortunate inconvenience, nobody is obligated to play along.

@Emma E. As much as teaching a child that we do not always get what we want, and that life isn't always fair, is important, so is childhood itself. Nobody was pressured, nobody was hurt, but a little girl had a magical Halloween flight. It's a lovely gesture. I try to teach my children that making other people happy when it causes you no issues should always be tried to be done. It's what makes this world a nicer place. They know not everything will go their way, but they're also kind and generous. Surely being so opposed is more 'me, me, me' than simply handing the sweet back/giving it to the child.

This! This so much! All those people who talk about parents teaching their children about 'real life' forget that children should be at least in part protected and given their childhood. Is that made of dressing up and candies and pretending everything is magic? Heck yeah! No one got hurt and a child was allowed to do what all children do. What is NOT to love about this?

Sweet gesture...but maybe we should let children cope with little disappointments sometimes to help them know how to handle bigger ones? IDK

Maybe... But remember she's only three and doesnt make the trip by her decision, its daddy's. Either way, when she's older may learn how to handle disappoinments.
