Last week I shared a flight with a crying infant who, despite his mother’s best efforts, wasn’t easily calmed in the minutes just before and after takeoff. I was amazed by the level of anger it provoked among several fellow passengers - and one man in particular, who kept loudly asking if someone can’t “stick something in that kid’s mouth?” I can only imagine how uncomfortable the baby’s mother, traveling solo with her child, must have felt. She did eventually soothe her little guy (who may have cried for a total of five minutes) - but the man’s nastiness really soured the vibe on the flight - which may be why I felt so drawn to this video, which shows a markedly more empathetic community approach. Alarmed by his first visit to the barber shop, this little guy begins to melt down. Watch what the other patrons do to distract him from his anxiety and enable the barber to finish his work. Just beautiful. Remember that we’re all in this together. 🎥 via shop.barberclassic
