One in, one out....

The man opposite me had just received the phone call he had been waiting weeks for: the one that lets him know that his wife had just experienced whatever it is that women experience that lets them know that child is en route.

Within minutes the girl next to me had received the phone call that she hadn't been waiting for: the one that informs them that an elderly relative has passed away.

Ain't it funny the way the world works?
