"Excuse me, hellllloooooo........?!?!"
Ok so picture this.....my family is in NYC to watch the tarheels play in the preseason NCAA basketball tournament. We've spent several days full of basketball, shopping, and a little NYC tourism, before we hopped into the back of "Osama's" taxi cab for a ride across the Hudson to the airport. Yes that's right, were in New York City and riding around with Osama.....uhh, of all the yellow taxis in that daggum city and we hop into Osama's??? Oh and to top it off, daddy's in the front seat asking Osama questions about 911 and terrorism (meanwhile momma, baily, and I are praying in the back seat that we survive this ride and don't end up another party of history).
So anyways, once we make it to the airport and as were getting ready to board the plane, were handing over our tickets to the lady at the gate, well I guess Baily did not wait long enough for this lady to do what she has to do (evidently it's hard work and time consuming to take a piece of paper out of her hand and scan it) but anyways I guess she didn't wait long enough, because as she was walking down the concourse this lady feels it necessary to hollar (in a typical NewYork/NewJersey northern accent, the one thats like 'sweet sugar' to every southerner's ears...ha) at Baily "Excuse me, helllllooooo..........?!?!" Yea, this lady wanted baily to come back up to the ticket counter, for nothing other than to wait beside the lady while she scanned her ticket. Those of you who know Baily know that she says whatever she pleases, whenever she pleases, so after this lady has yelled at her and as Bai is walking back up the concourse Baily uses an accumulation of her best 1. Northern accent 2. sassy head bob 3. finger pointed in the air, and yells right back at this lady in full mock-mode "Excuse me, helllloooo.......?!?!"
......by far the most hilarious experience of my ENTIRE life.....probably one of those "had to be there" moments, but man if you were. I promise you would still be laughing today....because we still do. Needless to say, it has become this on-going joke with the Jones family, and a memory that we will never forget.
