Eavesdropping

In the way travel goes these days we got to the airport in plenty of time, security lines were long, but went fast and we were through with lots of time to spare. Then the notice that our flight was delayed almost three hours came in. What else is the for us to do but sit in the airport.
We found a “club” we could pay to sit I and so here we sit. At the table next to us is a group who are also delayed. I am not sure how they are related, but they are some how. One pair is going to New York, the other to Florida. This is how their conversation goes, all four talking at once
“We are always delayed.”
“Will my wheel chair escort reschedule or do we have to let them know?”
“Judy’s daughter is getting married today and they have a green theme for St. Patrick’s day.”
“Is the groom Irish?”
“No, Jewish.”
“Last year we were delayed on the way to Fort Lauderdale.”
“Is Judy’s daughter’s dress green?”
“I still want the wheel chair.”
“How do I know if her dress is green? I’m stuck here and not at the wedding.”
“We went on this trip to get out of going to the wedding.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Maybe we should not travel anymore.”
“If we get home early enough let’s go to the wedding.”
“I want to see this Irish wedding.”
“They aren’t Irish. Judy is our cousin. They are Jewish. How many Irish Jews do you know?”
“Why are they having a St. Patrick’s day wedding?”
“Our flights are always delayed.”
“Maybe I should get a wheel chair for at home, then I could be at the front of the line everywhere.”
“Judy doesn’t even look good in green.”
The joys of listening to other people’s conversations. I may be delayed but I am very entertained.
