I have one story to tell for today. It didn't happen yesterday. It happened the day I picked my daughter up from the airport. My younger daughter and I were waiting at the luggage area for her luggage. You know those people who stand there with signs with names on them? Well she said "You should walk up to one of those guys and say you're the person on the sign." We have always toyed with the idea of doing that. Never have gotten up the guts to do it yet. We did however settle for a slightly tamer bit of fun. We looked at the guy and made eye contact with him. Then we walked directly toward him smiling. The poor guy looked at us then away , then back, then away , then back... the whole time we are walking straight at him grinning from ear to ear. I think he was about to run. We walked right up to him then turned to the side and kept walking. I actually brushed his arm with mine, we were so close. Then we went into the restroom and convulsed into laughter. Let me just say at this point if you are going to crack up in a public restroom, check for occupants first. We heard someone scurrying to get their pants up and get out of there. So to avoid being seen we dashed into a stall. We both cose the same one at first and it was very small. In order to remain toilet water free we decided to get our own stall. I kept that one and pushed Kati out. After all finders keepers and I was there first. Ok it wasn't exactly a fer that I overcame but it was a chance for public embarassment, and that is a big fear of mine. So mission accomplished. I looked it in the face and darted around it. I would still like to pretend to be the name on the sign but that's just me.
