When we traveled with our children, I would make an airport bingo card to entertain them while we waited in line or at gates. I would think of some of the craziest things someone might wear or carry, and challenge the kids to find those people.
- A man with a red clown nose
- Someone in a turban with striped pants
- Fuzzy slippers
- Someone with a sharp, pointy nose
- A woman wearing a tutu
The best part is that we found every single crazy person or outfit we could imagine in the airport! Every single time!
That was twenty-five years ago. Pre 9/11. The things listed above? The rule rather than the exception. the airport is filled with pink and purple hair, tutus, pajamas, dogs and cats, five-inch stiletto heels, thigh high boots, and three-inch long fingernails.
So I was pretty excited when I saw this woman wearing Grinch pajamas on the way to her gate.
Why are airport appearances so different than anywhere else? Why are airports the best place for people watching and photo taking?
Waite for it...
