True. But trust me, like DeltaPhi94 said, if the kids get yanked out of bed to be at an airport at 10:10pm, neither they nor the mom who had to put up with them on the car drive out there will be "all happy and smiling." And
everyone will pay for it the next day.
Me? Kids in bed or not, I'd tell Ms. MysticCat that under
no circumstances would I want her driving out to an airport that late at night by herself, much less with kids in the car. If I hadn't driven myself to the airport so that I would have a car there waiting for me (which I would do if my office were reimbursing expenses, and might do otherwise, depending on the length of the trip), I would either take a taxi or ask a friend to pick me up. I'd want to see my wife happy, smiling and safe at home. The kids I'd be happy to see peacefully sleeping; smiles will come in the morning.
