We don’t have to tell you that New York City has a history of landing planes in places that aren’t runways. Just as Cap’n Sully and Osama bin Dickhead.

Which makes this story really perplexing. It seems that a couple weeks back, an air traffic controller at JFK Airport brought his little munchkin into the tower. And instead of setting him up in the corner with a DVD player and a copy of “Dora The Explorer,” he put him to work.

Yep, Dad let his mini-me kid guide the planes for takeoff.

Sucks to be screaming “FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!” as your stewardess hands you your complementary beverage and bag of peanuts.

Seriously, Dad. You have the presence of mind to manage 197 airplanes simultaneously, but you can’t manage to land the kid at the babysitters? Really. I know it’s all fun and games to have your little one at work with you. But at some point you have to quit being the cool father, and start being the AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER.

It’s a freaking miracle that your apprentice didn’t land those planes on the Chuck E. Cheese’s parking lot or the Toys ‘R’ Us roof.

So next time school is canceled, do us all a favor, and do your job. Because while kids in planes are annoying, kids guiding planes is just plain stupid.
