Calm Wife

I had an occasion to travel overnight by bus in a hilly area. There were lots of people, including a man and his wife with 2 sons (about 5 and 2 years old). Halfway through the night, as the bus was climbing up the hills, the older boy started vomiting. Then the husband was vomiting through the night. And I was like ughhhh.

The wife on the other hand was calm, helping her husband, she also had the toddler sleeping on her lap all through the night. There was not a hint of irritation that I could see while I was seething with anger - how come the idiot (in his late 30's) planned such a trip by bus. Surely he could have foreseen what would happen.

But I continue to remain amazed by how the wife took all in her stride.
