A Giggle

Although I had to stand in line at the post office for at least 30 minutes last Friday, I couldn't help but smile.  These are the moments when you realize, "Hey, these are the funnies you just have to remember to make the difficult times better."

There was only one worker that day, in the afternoon, and he was getting two of the three people at the head of the line set-up with passports.  There was one person between me and them, and several people came and went while we waited because they didn't want to take the time.  I was debating leaving as well, but then I heard the worker discussing getting the card vs. the book, and how the card would be good for any surface traveling to Canada and Mexico.  He explained that meant by car or ship.  Well, the couple thought the card would be good for their upcoming trip, but the man had one question:  Is it good for going to Hawaii? 

I couldn't help but grin.  It took the worker a few minutes, but he finally said, "Umm..you don't need it for Hawaii." 

Yes, this is why I homeschool.
