business at the airport

i got all tickled last nite.
i gotta go pick up a friend at the airport.
i love airports.
i asked the boys if they wanted to go with me.
i got all excited. said we could go early and
have a business meeting at the airport!
we can find a place to sit and have a drink
and talk business.
they said they'd go along.
ohhhhhhhh i squealed! we'll be like big shots
havin' a business meeting at the airport!
i got all excited.

and then......

josh said......

mom, people don't have business meetings at
airports.

thunk.
wham.

my glee fell flat.

really?? sure they do........they gotta go somewhere
so they meet up at the airport....

no, mom......they go somewhere FROM the airport.

hmmmmm....yeah.
he's got a point.

sadness.
bummer.

and then i brightened.

oh well.
we'll still go and pretend we're big shots!
we'll still go have a business meeting at the airport!
as a matter of fact, we should do this once a month!
make it a habit!
it'll be great!!!

we'd have to say things like:

'sorry, you can't catch me then, i've got a meeting at the
airport.'

'sorry, i can't do that for you right then, i have a meeting
at the airport.'

who could resist?!

'oh, yeah, i'll call you when i get back from my meeting at
the airport....'

'oh today? it's my airport meeting day....'

grinnin' from ear to ear.

we're gonna do it anyway.

we're gonna mix play and work and pretend and real
and fun and seriousness...

hmmmm....could become a way of life, ya know?
