She laughs awkwardly, but the man remains stone-faced, letting the silence linger just long enough for her to wonder if heโs joking.
Before she can ask anything further, he smiles slightly and says, โJust kidding, theyโre my nieces and nephews.
Iโm taking them to visit their grandparents for the summer.โ
The woman exhales in relief and chuckles, โYou had me there for a moment!
That was quite the line.โ
He laughs along, โYeah, I get that a lot.
Itโs my go-to on long flights when people ask too many questions.โ
