take a break, driver 8

So yesterday, Moo took the test to get his driving learner's permit, and failed it. He has to wait two weeks before he can take the test again, and went to school today with loins girded for the inevitable wise-ass barrage from his classmates. Up until the failing-the-test part of the experience, it really hadn't been so bad. We went to the new DMV a couple of miles from here; it's big and well-lit and everybody gets a number and the lines seem to move very quickly. Most of the assembled seemed to be parents of teenagers.

"Mom," Moo said, nudging me, "When I look at that woman"--the one with the phone earpiece in her ear--"I know I'm in Virginia."

"Moo," I said back, nudging him, "When I look at that guy"--the one with the t-shirt that said I'm Not Mr. Right, But I'll Fuck You Until He Gets Here--"I know I'm in Virginia."
