The following exchange just happened at the county clerk’s office:
Her: “How you doing?”
Him: “Sleepy.”
Her: “Stay up late?”
Him. “No. Just lazy.”
Minutes later, the following exchange happened between me and Her, after she issued a short-form copy of my son’s birth certificate:
Me: “What’s the advantage of the long-form certificate versus the short-form?”
Her: “Well, we don’t know what you’re using it for.”
Me: “Well, generally, what do people use them for?”
Her: “We don’t know.”
Thanks for your help!
