Story from Adventurousang

I was travelling with my 82 year old mum who didn't get out much. We were en route to California.. A bad storm was coming in so the plane was diverted to Dallas. We disembarked and then all waited in the lounge for news of what next. A.very tall American man sitting next to my mum was beside himself with anger, muttering about missing a meeting with his face getting redder by the second. My tiny mum in her yellow hat turned to him and said 'Young man. Stop getting your knickers in a twist. This is an adventure and I am so excited. Nothing this thrilling ever happens to Rosie Hart. We might even get to stay in a hotel here tonight.' Everyone laughed, including the gentleman in question and my mum beamed.with joy. We chatted cheerfully with other passengers and were eventually loaded into a bus to go to a hotel with my mum chattering exictedly about Sue Ellen from the TV show Dallas. Later on she led a singalong in the bar all had breakfast together at the hotel the next day with my mum encouraging everyone's Dunkirk spirit. We parted the best of friends.
