At The DOT

Herself spent nearly two and a half hours at the Department Of Transportation so that Offspring the Second could obtain his learner's permit.  She was completely flabbergasted and rather more than just a tad irritated at the volume and specificity of the documentation that was required for this particular rite of passage.  Nevertheless, they finally prevailed, and Offspring the Second is now officially sanctioned to pilot a motor vehicle.

As Herself and Offspring the Second were waiting in the ginormous queue, they spotted a dessicated insect on the windowsill.  Offspring the Second quipped:

"It waited too long in line."

Hee.
