Story Submitted on 09/19 from DETROIT MI :

| Four years ago, I travelled for weeks with my two teenage daughters and my wife through europe. While it was a lovely trip, I couldn't wait to return to the familiarities and comforts of home. On our trip home, on the long train ride to the airport, my 14 year old daughter suddenly turned white with fear. She looked up at me, and with great tears in her eyes, announced that she had left her passport in the hotel safe. "Dad, I forgot my passport...don't tell mom!" she whispered nervously in my ear. Well, of course we had to tell Mom, and Mom took the long train ride back to the hotel with her to fetch the missing passport while my other daughter and I stayed behind to wait - missing train after train to the airport. They finally showed up, passport in tow, and we raced to our plane home - which of course, we missed. After running through a foriegn airport with a trolly full of tetering luggage, two frantic daughters and an angry wife, we came face to face with a nasty airline employee who told us we would not have a spot on a return flight home unless we returned to the airport the next morning at 6 am. After two weeks of travelling together in close quarters, we were forced together, yet again, in a hot hotel room without air conditioning (and a very angry wife). Needless to say, my daughter learned a very important lesson that day - and so did I: Don't tell mom. |
