A Czech Sunrise

I was a 20-year-old male (still am male, just not 20) when this happened. I was on an 8-hour flight to the Czech Republic from the Midwest. When I first got on the plane (around 4pm our time), I sat down in the middle section on the left side aisle. Across the aisle in the 2-seat window side was a Czech mother and her toddler. She was probably about 26 years-old, did not speak English and was very attractive (IMPORTANT).

For the first few hours of the flight, the toddler would get up, grab some stuff out of his mother's seat pocket and throw the SkyMall magazine right on the ground. Then, he'd look up at me and smile. I thought it was really cute, so I would smile back at him, pick it up and give it to his embarrassed mother. That was our only communication at that point.

Eventually, the kid fell asleep next to his mom. The sun went down, and around one hour later, it started coming back up because of the route we were flying. I had never seen a sunrise from a plane window before, so I leaned over and looked past the mother out her window to see the brilliant orange, blues, and grays. She gave me a funny look, and I just smiled at her, nodded, and kept looking in her direction out the window. She jerked her shoulder towards me in an indignant sort of way. I was like, "um...okay..." when I noticed something... 


Turns out she was breastfeeding her kid and assumed I was craning my neck to get a better look. Needless to say, I've never felt creepier than that to this day...

As a side note, I posted this story on Reddit, and another user was kind enough make an Urban Dictionary entry for it:  Urban Dictionary
