Once again Kate's Sunday morning was shattered by the howls of a toddler tantrum demanding breakfast and Octonauts as her husband snored blissfully unaware beside her. With a quick jab into his ribs before leaving the warmth of their bed, she made her way begrudgingly into the kitchen to prepare the Weetbix.
As she squinted into her instant coffee trying to ignore the mess and drown out the merry sounds of abc 4 kids she spied the new Galaxy tablet they had received for free when her husband had signed up for a news.com subscription.
Thankful for the distraction she unlocked the screen and began to browse the news.
Top of the agenda was a small article, accompanied by a picture, of a Qantas aircraft having troubles and making an emergency landing (or so she gathered, I mean any time an aircraft returns it's an emergency isn't it?)
Scrolling further she discovered the benefits of a paleo diet and why the anti vaccination movement might just have a point.
Later that evening, as her husband sat watching Gold Coast Cops, she remembered the news article on the emergency landing and knowing he liked anything to do with planes grabbed the tablet and navigated to the article.....and paused. Something wasn't quite right?
What was it?
Staring intently at the picture headlining the article she realised, that wasn't the aircraft she saw this morning! The photo before her now was of a less bulbous nose, it had winglets and it certainly didn't have two decks!
Kate knew from her frequent trips to Bali with Jetstar that the aircraft she was now staring at wasn't the same plane they had tried to pass off that morning!
Or was it? Perhaps she was just tired after a busy weekend?
Tossing the tablet into her husband's lap she lay down, clutching her head wondering if she really was going mad...
