Airplanes and Ears

Since we're flying on an airplane next week for the first time Kallie can remember, I recently checked out a book called "A Noisy Airplane Ride." It's a great book that explains all of the noises involved with flying on a plane. At the end, there is a little informational section about other things like pressurizing the cabin and air sickness. Going over this section with Kallie, I mentioned that her ears might pop when we get on the plane. A few days later, when we returned to the book and that same informational section, Kallie pointed to the picture of the ear and said, "And that's when my ears pop off!' I had to laugh for a minute before I explained her ears would stay on her head and the pop was only going to be a noise inside her ears.
