Falling Through The Cracks
I hate when I drop things.
My hands are always full of something. A coffee, a set of keys, an iphone, a few books, some papers, an overstuffed wallet..what can I say, I juggle a lot of crap.
The other day, I was boarding a Delta flight out of LaGuardia. I'm in the jetway, juggling my stuff as usual, and as I go to board, my iphone slips out of my hand, through the crack where the jetway meets the plane and falls 20 some feet to the tarmac below.
Did I forget to mention that I was going away for the weekend and leaving my teenagers at home alone? Was this a sign?
My iphone fell through a space that was no more than an inch and a half wide. It just so happened that the pilot was at the door and saw it drop too. Before I could yell, "Oh Shit", he put his hand on my shoulder and offered to go down to the tarmac and get it.
What a nice guy!
Remarkably, my iphone still worked however the front glass was all shattered. It's okay. I'm going to get a new one when I switch to Verizon. That episode gave falling through the crack a whole new meaning--literally!
