"The words silly and unrealistic were redefined when I learned that, in Holland, Saint Nicholas travels with what was consistently described as six to eight black man"
The next essay I would like to introduce is called "Standing By"
Sedaris tells us in this essay one of many of his experiences in airports; checking in, waiting for the planes, being on the line. He thinks that airline industry turns us into monsters; because there are always things that you hear, like once he saw a lady with his two grandsons buying tickets to San Francisco, but there weren´t flight until next day, so she started apologizing to his grandsons, that she would make it up to them. Also there was a big family and he started wondering what was the story behind them, if the baby that the teenage girl was carrying was hers, or why the teenage boy was wearing a shirt with the phrase "Freaky Mothafucka".
Then he heard a voice asked Adolf Hitler to pick up a white courtesy phone, he was in shock, how someone could call their son like that.
So he got to the conclusion maybe the airports turns us into the person who we truly are.
