Sat next to a group of 4 white-haired ladies in jeans & sweatshirts who were laughing about their drunken debauchery. They were discussing when two of them were so drunk they fell on each other - took a while, but they realized they confused two different events (one on the dance floor). Several cities and passports were mentioned. I hope I'm that fun when I'm that old. They boarded a flight to Memphis.

They were replaced by a 7-9 year old in a tie-dye and daddy in kakis and black sweater. He showed her the whole flight schedule, how to find hers, and how to figure out how long until the flight was boarding and taking off. She ate a chocolate danish and got it all over her fingers and face - dad helped with napkins. I was thinking "I always wanted one of these" when she said "I already miss mommy." Daddy signed and got up to throw away the napkins. She called mommy on the cell - daddy didn't join the call. However, he helped her compute the 55 days until she would see mommy again. She better go to sleep tonight because she has to be ready for school tomorrow.
