Father Pearson's Airport Adventure

In early December, “Father Pearson” returned from Florida and was waiting at MSP for “Mother Pearson” to pick him up. She calls him on his cell phone to let him know she is stuck in traffic on Hwy 169 and should be there in about 20 minutes. Curt takes a seat with his ever present newspaper and who should come walking by, but Forrest Nelson. Their discussion naturally involves golf but turns to automobiles as Ramona has recently acquired a new minivan that is the same model as Marilyn’s, the only difference being Marilyn’s is green and Ramona’s is silver. Just then Forrest spots the silver minivan and off goes Curt out the door. Curt waves at Ramona and goes to the side door to toss in his bags. The side door is locked so he goes to the rear door. The rear door is also locked yet he continues to yank on it yelling “Ramona, open the door”. The van starts to slowly pull forward, with Curt running after it hollering “Ramona!!”. As he reaches the van and again tries to open the rear door the van takes off and leaves the airport. With Curt furious that his wife has ditched him, he walks back inside and is consoled by Forrest as they both scratch their heads wondering what the heck Ramona is thinking. A few minutes later the silver minivan approaches and Curt heads out with his luggage, this time to unlocked doors. As Curt gets in he chastises Ramona and asks her what the heck happened on her last pass through the pick up area.

Ramona informs him that this is her first pass through the pickup area.

I would like to hear the version from the poor lady that thought she was being carjacked by some crazy man yelling “Ramona”.
