    The mother had just arrived home after being stuck in an airport in the United States for several days due to a major storm. She saw the weather forecast warning of a big storm coming and went straight to the airport to try to fly out before it arrived. However, hundreds of other people had the same idea, causing massive delays. The storm hit faster than expected and flooded the roads, trapping everyone at the airport. They thought it would only be one or two nights but ended up being stuck for several days with limited food and no water or bathroom facilities after the first day. The mother was able to meet nice people and pass the time playing cards but found it difficult being disconnected from communication and unable to contact her family.

    nightmare.

    Son: I bet. So, tell us what happened.
    M: Well, on Thursday afternoon I saw the weather forecast on the TV in the hotel and it
    said there was a big storm coming.

    S: Yes, that was when we spoke.


    M: That´s right. So, I took a taxi to the airport straight away. I wanted to leave before
    the store came.
    Daughter: Good idea! Did you get to the airport OK?

    M: Yes, I got there but hundreds of other people had the same idea. The storm arrived
    faster than anybody expected so there were no flights! The road to the airport was
    completely flooded, so nobody could go back into town. we got stuck in the airport!
    S: Did you think it would be for so long?

    M: Not at all. We all thought one night.. possibly two…


    G: Did you have enough food?

    M: I bought some food on the first day,but it wasn´t very good by the third day. On my
    birthday I had a packet of crisps and a two-day-old sandwich for lunch.

    S: Poor Mum.
    G: What about the bathrooms at the airport? Were you able to have a shower?
    M: No! The water pipes froze so after the first day there wasn´t any water. It wasn´t
    nice!
    S: That´s disgusting!
    M: Don´t worry. I´m clean now!
    G: So, what did you do all day in the airport?
    M: I met really so nice people! We talked, read, played cards. When they found out it
    was my birthday, one of them gave me his last bar of chocolate!
    G: Ah cute!

    M: It was a strange feeling no having Internet connection, no phone line. It was horrible
    not being able to phone you two! We´re all so used to being connected all the time. It
    was hard. I know you think I´m on holyday when I´m working, but it´s not always easy
    you know!

    G/S: happy birthday Mum!
