Brendan had spent a week
visiting his
family in Kentucky. His sister-in-law and seven-year-old
nephew went
with him when he returned to the airport. After verifying his
seat
number with the counter attendant, Brendan walked back to his
relatives and stated that he’d have to wait an additional three hours in
the airport.
„How come?,“ his nephew asked.
„My plane
has been grounded,“ Brendan explained.
„Grounded?“ the little boy
said. „I didn’t know planes had
parents.“
