Mayday! - BTT

Another Thursday and another question from Booking Through Thursday:

Quick! It’s an emergency! You just got an urgent call about a family emergency and had to rush to the airport with barely time to grab your wallet and your passport. But now, you’re stuck at the airport with nothing to read. What do you do??

And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your bookbag, or the book next to your bed. You were . . . grocery shopping when you got the call and have nothing with you but your wallet and your passport (which you fortuitously brought with you in case they asked for ID in the ethnic food aisle). This is hypothetical, remember...


No book? In the waiting area and no book? I usually have as many as I can pack with me so I don't have to worry about finishing one. But in this case, I would probably end up checking the bookstore for anything decent looking or just grab a pencil and a puzzle book.

Of course, I would also be concerned with the fact that I didn't get to pack clothes amd it looks like I'll be shopping even more when I get to my destination...

I'd be fine without a book, I think. I'd rather listen to music in that kind of situation. Puzzles would be a good way to kill time.

HA! Good point...most likely you'd be running home to pack a change of clothes, and you'd (obviously) grab a book, right?

But for the sake of the question, I think a book of puzzles would come in nice and handy. :-)
