"Lori, I want to ask you something," Chris began as he watch his mother get on her flight.

"Yes?" Lori turned and faced him.

"Will you go on the road with me this time?" Chris searched her eyes as he waited for her answer.

"I guess so," Lori stammered, uncertain but sensing it was important to him.

"Great," Chris exhaled in relief. "I've been wanting to introduce you to everyone for the longest time. And fill them in on the babies."

"When do you go out next?" Lori asked him.

"Tomorrow morning," He told her with a smile he hoped would cushion the impact.

"Let's head home then," Lori urged him. "I need to pack."

The very next morning, back at the same airport...

"Come on Lori," Chris tugged gently on her arm. "It's time to board the plane."

"Oh, I don't know if I can do this," Lori was nervous regarding her very first flight.

"Trust me, it'll be all right," Chris squeezed her hand in confirmation.

"Hey Chris!" Jason Reso called out as he came up to them.

"Hey Jay," Chris returned and gestured at Lori. "It's her first flight."

"Really," Jason looked at her sympathetically for a moment before adding; "I still remember mine."

Chris motioned to Jason to cease the discussion, knowing all to well that it was not a memorable experience. He too, had been on that flight and the plane encountered turbulence for almost two hours straight. A baby screamed loudly for the entire duration of the flight.

"It was great," Jason took the warning and lied quickly. Then he dug out a pack of Big Red and handed Lori two pieces. "Chew one during take off and the other when we land," he explained.

"It helps neutralize the pressure on your eardrums," Chris informed her further.

"Oh," Lori nodded as she wrung her hands.
