Mother's Day Special

There's something special about some of the casual conversations we have that transforms them into lifelong memories. Had one such conversation in the flight back to the city this week.

Me (Requesting the Air-hostess [A-H] after observing that the passenger in the aisle seat is fast asleep): Could you please do me a favor?
A-H: Sure!
Me: My mom is at the back of the plane on seat 19-*. Could you please check on her, just to make sure she's fine? We could not get adjoining seats due to last minute itinerary changes.
A-H: Sure, I'll be right back!
Me: [Patiently waiting]
A-H: Oh yeah! She's fine and all settled in there. Oh BTW, I must say....I didn't know, and couldn't believe. Your mom is very beautiful!
Me:  Thanks! [donning a big smile]
