CARTER’S FLIGHT TO Tulsa was due to land about forty-five minutes after the team’s flight landed, so I took my bags to my car and then headed back inside to wait for him. I’d barely made it through security and reached his gate by the time he was skipping down the bridge, holding hands with a flight attendant with his Tow Mater backpack dangling from his free arm. The flight attendant was carrying his suitcase—which was, of course, a Lightning McQueen suitcase, because Mater and McQueen were best buddies, just like Carter and Snoopy.

“Dad!” he shouted. He ran straight into my arms, ignoring the flight attendant’s admonishment that she needed to check my paperwork first to verify that I was the adult legally allowed to pick him up.

I passed the papers over to her with one hand, the other wrapped tightly around my kid because he had a death grip on my neck and obviously had no intention of letting go. She chuckled and took the paperwork from me, giving it a quick once-over.

“Did you have a good flight?” I asked him.

The flight attendant winked at me and handed all the paperwork back with a knowing smile.

“The man next to me let me watch Monsters, Inc. on his iPad,” Carter said.

I took his suitcase from the flight attendant, re-situated Carter’s backpack over both of his shoulders so it wouldn’t fall off him, and grabbed hold of his hand to lead him out of the airport. “That was nice of him,” I said, but I thought to myself that my son’s seatmate was probably just trying to have a little peace and quiet on the flight. Carter could talk anyone’s ear off if he was in the right mood for it. “Did you say thank you?”

Just like that, my son stopped cold. “Oh no. I forgot.” Then he turned around, scanning the sea of faces. He climbed up on an empty chair for a better angle. “I don’t see him!”

“He probably went to baggage claim,” I said, holding out my hand again.

But Carter refused to be swayed. “We gotta go find him.”

I laughed to myself, but I said, “All right. Let’s go see if we can find him. We have to go past baggage claim to get to the car, anyway.” This time, when I reached for Carter’s hand, he took it.

We gathered up his things again and started the long walk to get out of the building. He made up a game as we went, designating where it was safe for me to step and where I might trigger an attack of the monsters from his movie, despite the fact that we were wide awake and the scary monsters were supposed to come out while you were sleeping.

“You need to use the bathroom?” I asked when we were almost at baggage claim, since I spotted a sign out of the corner of my eye. “Might be a while before we can get to another one.”

“I went pee on the plane,” he said, sounding like it was an absolute coup, the best thing he’d ever experienced.
