Чекаю дружину в аеропорту: рейс затримується
Находжуся я якось в аеропорту, чекаю дружину з Італії. Літак затримується вже на 3 години, згідно з повідомленнями, і я потроху скаженію. Поруч скаженів ще один чоловік інтелігентного вигляду: окуляри, капелюх, кейсик… Підходить він до мене, тихенько просить постерегти його кейс на кілька хвилин, доки він у вбиральню збігає. Я людина добра на вдачу — погодився, і от стою. Пів години. Годину. Півтори. Я вже не злий — я шалений!
Нарешті підходжу до сержанта аеропортової служби і описую ситуацію з кейсом. Він просить мене пройти з ним. Заходимо до службового приміщення, починаємо оформляти кейс, протокол, як годиться, мої паспортні дані, опис ситуації. Нарешті дійшли до опису вмісту кейсу.
Відкриваємо…
Ой, Боже мій! Щоб мені гикота! Кейс до самого верху набитий крупними купюрами євро в банківських упаковках! Я ледь не з’їв свою бороду від думки, що не привласнив таке багатство! Відчуваю себе останнім дурнем, сил навіть на себе лаятись немає! Дивлюсь, а протоколчик так тихенько зім’яли люди в формі і сором’язливо так переглядаються між собою і кейсом… Тут їх як понесло, кинулися вони до нього і давай собі ці пачки пхати у всі кишені, а я стою, ковтаю слину… Але сержант змилосердився і каже:
— Чого стоїш, годувальник наш!? Собі набирай, що ж ми, зовсім вже?!
Кинувся я до кейсу, забувши, як мене звуть, і почав теж набирати собі гроші…
Набираю, набираю, набираю, набираю…
Прокидаюся — вся ковдра в труси заправлена…

“I Don’t Want to Be a Mum! I Want to Go Out!” – My Daughter’s Confession That Shook Our Family My daughter became pregnant at 15 and kept it a secret for months. My husband and I only found out when she was five months along—abortion wasn’t an option. We never learned who the baby’s father was; she barely remembered his age. We were devastated, but our daughter insisted she wanted to be a mum. I knew she didn’t understand what that meant. After a difficult birth, she quickly lost interest in her son, leaving me to care for both of them. When I begged her for help, she replied, “You love him, so adopt him! I’ll be his sister—I want to go out, have fun with my friends, go clubbing!” We feared postnatal depression, but it turned out she simply felt no maternal bond. We eventually became our grandson’s guardians as our daughter grew distant, leaving at night and ignoring her child. For years, nothing changed—until, suddenly, everything did. Our grandson thrived, and one day his mother’s heart melted. She became a devoted mum, cherishing every moment and declaring, “I’m so happy I have a son—he’s the most precious thing in my life!” At last, our family found peace and happiness.
“I don’t want to be a mum! I want to move out!” my daughter tells me. My daughter fell pregnant...
