Emergeny on the plane!!!

Okay, the post "my first time on a plane" by 58309 suddenly reminded me of this: When I was 5 me and my family flew to Germany and lived there for 2 months. I had ridden planes before, but I was so young I couldn't remember, so it was like a new expiriance for me. So we got on and everything is going okay. But then after about 3 hours into the flight (the whole flight was about 8 hours long)I decided I was thirsty. So I saw this button in front of me that showed a picture of an attendant running. So I thought it meant push this for the waitress lady. So anyways, I pushed it, and this attendant comes running all breathless and arrives at my seat in about 1 minute. She looked down at me, and seemed to be surprised to see a 5 year old. I told her I was thirsty, and she gave me a funny look and went off. A couple minutes later she was back with a small plastic cup of water. She handed it to me and went away. I drank it and then didn't know where to put the cup so I pushed the running attendant button again. The attendant came running again, and frowned when she saw me. I handed her the cup and told her I was finished and she could take the cup away know. She took the cup and pointed to to a small thrash bin thing on my arm rest. "Okay," she said, "But you could've put it in here! This is for things like this! And DO NOT push that button again!! It's the EMERGENCY button! If you want more water later, then wait for an attendant with drinks to come around again!! Only push that button if there is a SEVERE emergency!!!" And with that, she glared at me again and hurried off. I sank way down in my seat, totally humiliated and feeling like I was the stupidest person on Earth!
