Take the toothpaste, leave the cannoli

Overheard on the plane from Houston to Nashville while waiting to push back from the gate...A mom and her daughter are checking out the safety instruction card.

Little girl: What's that?

Mom: That's an oxygen mask. 

Little girl: What's an oxygen mask?

Mom: Well, sometimes the plane doesn't have any oxygen and the oxygen mask will pop out of the ceiling and you have to breathe into it. 

(pause)

Little girl: Mommy, what does this say? 

Mom: That's a bracing position...And that says when you have an emergency you can't take your bag -- you have to get off as fast as possible. 

Little girl: Mommy, what about my toothpaste?

Mom: Well, that's just in an emergency situation.
