| Ata - The Return |
So Ata is back in Adelaide. This trip was my first time flying with Jetstar. There are, apparently, only two real certainties with Jetstar -
(1) You will stand in queues.
and
(2) The flight will be late.
On the trip to Darwin, it was a 50-minute wait in line to check in. On the way back, it was a 20-minute wait in line to get on the plane. Whoever thought no allocated seating was a good idea should be taken out to the tarmac and run over by a jet full of cranky passengers.
Anyway. Back home at last - at about 11:30 at night (hooray! the flight was only 20 minutes late, instead of the 4 hr delay Ata's parents had flying Melbourne-Darwin a week ago) - Ata pulls a book out of her case. AM gave an Indian recipe book as a gift.
"Here," says Ata, "see what Mum gave us."
"Ooh," says Mr Ata, with delight, "are you going to cook me some Indian?"
"I thought you could cook ME some Indian!" replies Ata, in mock horror.
"But I can't!" retaliates Mr Ata, "I... I... I brew the beer, to have with the Indian!"
"Pfft," says Ata. "I don't LIKE beer."
"Well," responds Mr Ata, clearly thinking he now has come up with the final witty reply, "I might not like your Indian."
Ata smiles. "In that case," she says, triumphantly serene, "there's no point me cooking it, is there?" |
