Southwest wouldn't let mixed-race family fly until mom "proved" parenthood

Right, but I did :).

When you are a big ugly white guy and you show up at 4am at the hospital holding a nine day old black baby with severe apnea and absolutely no paperwork - nothing - to prove that’s your child, well, it’s pretty terrifying. We didn’t even have a birth certificate yet, all that was still in process.
