I just got back from dropping Johanna off at the airport. She was "chosen" for the complete search. So all the packages she had wrapped were unwrapped, and her undergarments displayed for the world to see....at least it was a woman searching her bag. But wait! It gets better! When she had to go through the gate, she was also chosen to be, um, what's the word? Frisked. Yeah that's it, frisked. They do it all in the open air too! Picture incredibly modest Johanna....patted down real good for the world to see. Scandolous. She wasn't the only one either. Heightened security for the holiday season, I guess. It made me feel safer sending her off knowing that. I wonder if she felt that same appreciation. She is now safely in Cincinnati awaiting the plane for her final leg of this journey. And you know I had to ask her if they would search her again in Cincy.....told her you never know what someone could pick up in between flights. I stressed my poor daughter out. At least SHE didn't say that incredibly bad word.
About Me
- tomirose
- I'm a wife of a wonderful man, mom to three awesome children. I like to laugh, encourage, and I would love to write. I think community is a wonderful thing, and I'd like people to be less cynical about church, not THE church, but the institution that we call the church. I think soul patches, piercings and tattoos are kinda cool; attitudes are not. Sometimes I lie in bed and think about weird things.. like why I like the taste of bubblemint gum, but despise the taste of our youngest son's bubblemint flavored toothpaste, or if our older children have already met their future spouses, how amazing it is that I've been married to the same man for thirty-two years, and why dryer lint looks the way it does. I hate having cold feet, being too hot, and stubbing my pinkie toe. I like to read pretty much anything but angsty poetry, well no I lied..not about the angsty poetry, but I don't much like to read biographies either. Laundry is the bane of my existence, along with cleaning out the refrigerator, and just plain cleaning.
