Hi Jack!

As I was sitting here thinking of what to write about, the phone rang. On the caller I.D. it said Delta Airlines. I usually don't answer the phone when it says that because I know it's for my dad. But my dad was on a trip so I was confused as to why Delta would be calling. So I answered the phone and they asked for my mom. I told the lady that my mom was gone shopping for a while and asked if I could take a message. She then began to tell me that the plane that my dad was flying was hijacked while it was still on the runway. She then said that there was no way to tell what was going on in the airplane because the communication had been cut. I didn't know what to do, I was so scared. I quickly called my mom on her cell phone but she didn't answer it. I freaked out, I didn't know what to do. After about 10 minutes Delta called back with updates. They told me that the plane had taken off and was headed over the Atlantic Ocean (from JFK International Airport.) I had no idea what to do!! I couldn't find my mom and nobody else was in the house. I called my grandparents house and told my grandma and she started crying. She told me to hang up quickly and wait for more information from Delta. About 15 minutes after I got off the phone with my grandma Delta called back. The lady seemed calm and told me not to worry. But I was still in a freak panic, I wanted to know what the heck was going on with my dad. She assured me that everything would be okay because the President of Spain was on that flight. This made no sense to me, so I asked what in the name of the ruler of Spain that had to do with. She then explained that it was in Spain when the first day of April because known as April Fool's Day.
