My license expired on my birthday, so I went to the DPS to get it renewed. That’s not a place I would like to hang out on my birthday…or any other day for that matter. It didn’t smell pleasant, and there was a lovely line.
I didn’t think I needed to have a new picture made, but the lady said I did. When I finished she looked at my picture and then looked at me and said,
“Maybe you should have done yourself up a little more. This is going to be your picture for the next 6 years. Happy Birthday!”
I just laughed, because I was in shock that she actually verbalized what should have been inner dialog. I guess her filter wasn’t working that day. It happens to the best of us! Which reminds me of a verse I love, but have a hard time remembering,
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29
My Passport picture is also HORRIBLE! When I had my picture made, the lady at Kinko’s told me I wasn’t supposed to smile. My Passport photo looks like a bad mug shot. It’s so bad that when anyone in our family wants to laugh about something, they say, “Hey, do the face Mama made in her passport picture.” Then everyone does it and the whole family starts laughing. Good times! So now my only two forms of picture identification are horribly embarrassing. I guess I better stay out of trouble…and stay in the country.
No, I will not post them on here! :)
My hope is that when I renew my license or Passport in the future, that these pictures disappear forever. Unlike this college ID that I like to use as blackmail sometimes.
Guess who? It’s my dad circa 1975-76. Lookin’ Good!
