Another Sister Eulalia story: The Airport

Sister Eulalia had spent her few weeks with us and with my Aunt's family
and it was time to fly back to Texas. As usual, she was dressed in full habit.
My Aunt offered to help with Sister's bags
when they arrived at the departure gate.
But Sister Eulalia looked around and
spotted a group of tough-looking young men nearby.
She said "No, no. Those boys will help me."
She said her goodbyes and went over to the boys,
sized them up and tapped on the elbow of the biggest one.
She drew herself up to her full 4 foot 9 inches and asked him to help her with her bags.
Now, this fellow doesn't want to turn down
a tiny, elderly nun in front of his pals,
so what could he do?
He picked up her bags and followed her.
