I had to go to vital records today to pick up birth certificates for my son so we can get his passport. They ask you several tricky questions.
- What is your name?
- What is the child’s name?
- What is the child’s birthdate?
- What hospital where they born in?
I had rehearsed the answers before I arrived, but apparently the two fathers behind me didn’t – neither knew their child’s birthdate, one of them didn’t know the hospital. Thank goodness for cell phones, they were able to call someone and ask.
Luckily I was several feet away or one of them would have overheard me ask, “Do you at least know your kids’ name?”
