A man takes his son to an airport for a family holiday
Unfortunately, the airport and the upcoming holiday are far too exciting for the child, and he just can't stay still. Every few minutes, the father is chasing down his son and trying to keep him in line. Eventually, he tells his son that, if he doesn't reign it in, he'll have no choice but to put the son in a suitcase and put him on the plane as baggage.
It doesn't work. The son is still running around without a care in the world.
So the father steps it up a bit. He takes his son to the baggage check in area and tells them "My son is being naughty, so I'll need you to put him in a suitcase and check him in as baggage." He hopes this will scare his son into behaving.
The check-in worker looks confused, and just shakes their head. "I'm sorry, sir. We can't put your son in a suitcase and check him in as baggage. You'll need to being him on the plane with you."
The dad tries to keep the lie going, in case it works. "You mean, I'll have to carry-on my wayward son?"
