My dad worked in alaska and had to go to the airport and board a plane in order to get to work. Every time he came home late at night, I would wake up and go to greet him. I was about 2, and I thought the plane dropped him off in our driveway.
My parents confirmed my thought... But this was obviously because they couldn't understand my question.
