Where oh where has Carolyn Gone!!!

I flew out of Maryland at 9:00 Thursday morning and had a layover in Detroit of all places. I arrived to West Virginia at 3:10 just as my flight was supposed to. I called Carolyn to tell her that I was there and was told that she was going to be waiting for me by the luggage claim and that she would look for my luggage while I got off of the plane. When I got to the Luggage claim she was nowhere to be seen. I thought that maybe she was just talking her little boy to the bathroom. After my luggage arrived and I still couldnt find Carolyn I decided that it was time to call her and the conversation went something like this.
"Hey Car where are you?"
"I am by baggage claim. Where are you?"
"I am by baggage claim. I cant see you."
"How could I not of seen you? Are you really by baggage claim."
"Yes I already have my bag. I am standing right in front of the rental cars."
"You are not I am at baggage claim and I can't see you anywhere. Are you still on the plane?"
"No I swear I am here."
"Are you at theright airport?"
"I think so."
"Are you at a small airport?"
"Yes."
(panick starting to set in)
"Are you at the Huntington Airport?"
"What other airport is there?"
"The Charleston airport"
"Crap I am at the Charleston airport."
"Are you really because I am at the Huntington Airport."
"How far away from you am I?
(complete dread thinking that I was about 3 hours away)
"Are you really there. If you are then you are an hour away."
(phew relief I can hang out for an hour. Then the doubt of Carolyn sets in.)
" Jessica are you joking with me."
"No Carolyn."
"listen I am getting in the car right now if you are joking with me I am not coming back to pick you up."
"I am really not joking with you."
That is one part about being a very sarcastic person when you are being completely serious people never believe you. Needless to say I spent an extra hour at the airport. But I got to see Charleston which by the way is a very small city.
