Twins’ parents hand out candy on plane to ‘apologise in advance’

Christina Diaz, Michael Rubinstein made gift packages to apologise in advance if their twin boys cried on a cross-country flight

The thoughtful parents of twin boys who brought sweets, ear plugs and a kind note for the people on their cross-country plane trip explain to Daily Mail why they went to such great lengths to appease their fellow passengers.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Christina Diaz, 38, and Michael Rubinstein, 32, said the bemused travelers thought Ms Diaz was a flight attendant handing out on-board snacks when she distributed the ‘apology’ bags. And, despite hours of hard work preparing the kits, their 14-week-old twins Arrow and Jasper didn’t even let out a murmur throughout the five-hour flight from San Francisco to Washington, DC. Ms Diaz and Mr Rubinstein have detailed their first flight with their adorable baby boys as well as the new notoriety their simple act of kindness has earned them.

Mr Rubinstein, 32, a geographic specialist for Google Earth, and Ms Diaz, 32, a photographer, live together in Berkley, California, reports the newspaper. They were terrified of visiting Mr Rubinstein’s family on the East Coast, nervous not only about the trip, but of what they would do if Arrow Wyatt and Jasper Caleb were fussy on the flight. Ms Diaz told the MailOnline, “We didn’t want to encroach on people’s personal space when they didn’t have an option to go any where else.” Then, she remembered having read about a new mother who brought gifts for the other passengers on her flight and decided to do the same. With about $20, Ms Diaz went out to the store to pick up some candy and ear plugs. She printed out sweet notes to explain to the flight that they were new parents and that they would do the best to keep Arrow and Jasper quiet during the journey from San Francisco to Washington DC. daily times monitor
