Mother draws apology card for fellow passengers

Have you ever been bothered by crying babies on a plane? One mother has prepared apology cards in case her infant bothers fellow travelers, in a move that's sure to win them over.

A mother of an 18-month-old infant, surnamed Fang, plans to send comic strips she drew herself and some chocolates to passengers on board the same plane as her family. They are about to holiday in London during the Spring Festival, and she is anticipating her fellow travelers' response if her baby cries during the flight, Modern Express reported on Monday.

The four panel comic strip includes an image of her family of five and an apology "from" her baby.
