Flying for Christmas
My family was leaving Denver and arriving in Dallas Christmas Eve. The holiday was exciting - presents to wrap, children to pack, a visit to Santa. I was hustling around with 3 small children who were very excited about the season.
2 days before departure:
Phone rings
Well, are you at the airport?
No, why would we be at the airport. We don't leave for two days.
What do you mean?
We still have two more days.
Someone said you were coming today. Aren't you suppose to be here today?
No Mom, two more days.
1 Day before Departure
Phone rings
Well, are you at the airport?
No, Mom. We don't leave for another day.
What do you mean?
We don't leave for one more day. We are arriving Christmas Eve.
Now stop messing with me. Who is playing a trick on me. You are suppose to be here today. Your Dad is on the way to the airport.
No he isn't Mom, he knows we are coming tomorrow.
Well, I can't believe you are doing this to me. Why are you trying to mix me up? Why did you switch the day?
Mom, we were always coming on Christmas Eve. We will be there tomorrow.
Fine.
