Driver's License Dilemma...
Today, Rebecca made me proud -- she got a Texas driver's license on her way to becoming an official Texas resident.
< Tear! >
Remind me, though, to make sure I renew my license on line. Unfortunately for Smash (that's my name for Rebecca, for those of you who are unaware), it was her first, so she needed the photo.
The line was ridiculously long, and filled with people whom obviously don't have internet access at home. I felt like I was at night court. I've never seen so many house shoes, sweat pants, and "baby's mommas" in a public place, at the same time.
As Rebecca was filling out the necessary info, such as height, weight, address, etc., it got me thinking. See, women like to pretend they're smaller than they actually are. I get it, it's an ego thing. If they actually weight 120 lbs, they typically say they weight about 112 lbs.
That's where the dilemma comes in. Let's stick with an actual weight of 120 lbs. Would you rather your driver's license say you weight 112 lbs, and the bouncer at the club think you've gained weight since your last renewal? Or would you rather it say you weight 135 lbs, and you appear to have lost weight?
Once again, another conundrum.
I suppose, personally, I'd stick with my true weight for the simple reason of maintaining my actual size, but if there's one thing you learn from going to school in southeast Texas, people don't maintain their weight for much longer than about three years out of high school, especially if you're from the country where I grew up, and believe me people, Orange, Texas is the country.
