My sister is traveling by herself for the first time tomorrow, and she has a connecting flight at JFK. My dad has a friend who we shall call “Sobhan”. Sobhan lives in New York, and recently suggested that if there are any issues with her transit, my sister should give him a call. This is the conversation that just took place between my parents, as they attempted to evalute this situation:
Mom: “Sobhan is so kind, I would never have expected him to extend such a generous offer to look out for Nura during her travels”
Dad: “Well. It’s not like he’s looking out for her himself… he has a network.”
Mom: “A network? Please, he’s not in the mafia.”
Dad: “No, but he has two iPhones. That means he can be on the phone with Nura on one, and call one of his buddies to pick her up on the other. He has a system.”
