Airport Profiling

I think I have been Profiled!!!

My youngest son was going to see his Mom for the summer and was taking a plane to get there. I was taking him into the Airport after the Traffic and the Crazy Parking problems and we were getting on the elevator from the parking Garage when a very nice Old Lady said to my son… "Are you going HOME to your Mothers" I didnt think anything of it and proceeded into the airport to check his bags in.

As we were walking up to the counter the Nice young Lady at the desk said, "Are you going home to your Mothers House" I spoke up this time and said ‘NO" His Home is here and he is going to visit his Mom. At this time I am getting a little mad.

Just when I thought it was over, He is Getting ready to board the plane and when the Airline personal was taking his ticket, He said, "Are you going back Home to Your Moms house"  Needless to say I went frigin Balistic this time. I promptly told him and about 139 other Passengers that THIS WAS HIS HOME and He is going to visit.

By this point it hits me….. I have been Profiled By everyone. They all automatically assume that I am the Disneyland Dad and just see my kids on the weekend….. Well they all know different now!!!

Maybe next time they see a kid and his dad walking through the Airport or even on the street, they will think twice before they make a comment like that. man this makes me MAD!!!
