Trvial Issue
The other day I had to pick my parents and sister up from the airport. A seemingly mundane task that many people do not like to do. I mean there's time its takes to get there, airport traffic, parking, potential delays, etc. But for me this is a really enjoyable experience. The opportunity presented itself to just drive round and round and wait for the call to just pick them up, but there's something about parking and waiting for your guests to arrive that I find really exciting. I t goes back to travelling back home as a kid. Living abroad did not lend itself well to seeing extended family consistently so the anticipation factor was high. I knew my grandparents would always be there with arms opens when I came down the terminal or upon returning having my parents ready and waiting for me. This mundane act of the "airport pickup" for my family is turned into an event, and Sunday as I was waiting for them to arrive. I deduced in my head that a good test for a future wife would be if she does the airport pickup. Does she just swing buy? Or do they take the time to come in wait and rally show their love/appreciation? If she doesn't I'll be pissed.

That's the real tell-all test, actually. I've heard that the Air Port Pickup Test, as the experts call it, reveals all one needs to know about their future spousse
