I’ll Distract Them!

I’m Indian, but living in California most people think I am Mexican. Getting ready to board a plane to Hawaii, and TSA is checking bags again at the gate for “random searches.” My dad jokingly exclaims in Hindi that we are all going to get “randomly” searched to get ready to run.

The guy in front of us starts chuckling, and then gets stopped instead of us. He turns around and says in Hindi, “You guys go on without me, I’ll distract them!” evilchild0323
