Don't think this could happen today with all the extra security and triple checking of passenger lists; but about 35 years ago, my mom boarded and got on the wrong flight at Love Field.
When she landed in ABQ instead of San Antonio, they just put her on the next flight to San Antonio.

Road Amtrak to SA with mom when I was 13-14. Went to Sea World, got in an argument with her. She told me to just go do my thing and she'd do hers. So I did, watched many shows and had a good day. When it was time to leave I went to the front gate and heard my name on the loud speaker. Mom finally spotted me and came running. She was crying and sunburnt. I thought that was weird.

My parents had sex, at least twice that I can prove. It doesn't get any more odd than that.

I came home on leave once and pulled up to an empty house. The had moved without telling me. I just sat there, an orphan. A neighbor finally came out and gave me their new address. I hollered at them for making me an orphan.

My parents died. I thought they would live forever.
Snowflakes and entitled brats will be the doom of America!

My mom tried to get on a plane with a loaded .38 once. It was before 9/11 but it still didn't go very well for her.

My dad used to always microwave food in the styrofoam containers and it'd melt all over his food and he'd get so sad and throw it out. I remember him doing that when I was a kid, all the way up to right before he passed away. Never learned his lesson.

She's 77 with a Kimber now lol.

My stepmother was a Jehovah's Witness and my stepfather was a devout Atheist. Try living around that. Argued all the time over religion but managed to stay married for 50 years.

One time my mom went out of town for a few days and my dad sent me to school with a pretty decent sandwich and chips for lunch. But he also put a few dog treats in a plastic baggy thinking they were dried sausages.

Jane says I've never been in love - no She don't know what it is She only knows if someone wants her
