Speaker 2: So when I was about sixteen, my mum and I
Speaker 2: went to the airport to pick someone up, and we
Speaker 2: were looking at the you know, the travelators like the escalators,
Speaker 2: but they are the flat ones. And she told me
Speaker 2: that people that used them were really lazy, which I
Speaker 2: thought was a bit of like a harsh statement. So
Speaker 2: I decided to show her that they were faster. So
Speaker 2: I got on it. She started running alongside me through
Speaker 2: the airport and then of course she's going a bit
Speaker 2: faster than me, so I start running as well on
Speaker 2: the travelader and so she's she at this point, there's
Speaker 2: nothing she can do. I'm sixteen, she's in her forties.
Speaker 2: I'm on the travel lader, I'm going faster, and were
Speaker 2: a group of people in front of me on the trap. Later,
Speaker 2: I was going to like leap through them like Trouba
Speaker 2: Middle I was. I was not giving up, and my
Speaker 2: mom yelled out at the top of her lungs, don't
Speaker 2: let that girl through. She stole my bag.
Speaker 1: She's got the either tiger.
Speaker 3: She's going for gold. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: She'll even have you arrested wrongfully and possibly face later
Speaker 1: charges herself other than news to a sixteen year old daughter.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's just a bit competitive.
Speaker 1: And what's the name of this awesome mum?
Speaker 2: Lorena?
Speaker 1: Lorena? That's great? Who won the race? By the way? Uh?
Speaker 2: Well I did because the people she yelled out to
Speaker 2: didn't speak English.
Speaker 6: What do you think you would stop somebody if someone
Speaker 6: ever yelled out that person stole my bag?
Speaker 3: Do you jump into action or do you just watch
Speaker 3: them pasts?

Speaker 4: at the shops and I kept walking like it's like
Speaker 4: a big mall. And then my mom runs out and
Speaker 4: she starts screaming out my name, Stephanie, Stephanie, and I thought,
Speaker 4: if I stop, now everyone's going to know that that
Speaker 4: crazy lady is my mother. If I keep walking and
Speaker 4: I walk out of the shopping wall. They're just gonna
Speaker 4: think she's a crazy purpose and I've gotten breathe. But
