Unexpected Reprieve

Yesterday:

Mom: "You know what I was thinking? I'll sneak out of work early in the day tomorrow..."
Me: Thinking, "Did she just say she'd sneak out of work early..? Oooh.. Shopping?"
Mom: "...and I'll take you to renew your driver's license!"
Me: "You really were a geek in high school, weren't you?"
Mom: "...yeah."
Me: "Yeah.."
Mom: "But I was going to take you to the nice one so you don't have to wait 6 hours this time."
Me: "Almost as good as a sale."
Mom: "What?"

Today:

Me: "Why do we keep getting directions from mapquest when they always take us the long ass way everywhere?"
Mom: "I know. I'm sure we just circled around here."

A bit later..

Me: "D'oh! I totally know this street. I knew I recognized the name! We could've just gone through two towns instead of about fifty.."
Mom: "You know this area..?"
Me: "Yeah. You do, too."
Mom: "I do?"
Me: "Yes, you do."
Mom: "Ok.."

And even later...

Mom: "Wow! That didn't take long, did it?"
Me: "The longest part was getting here. I look somewhat psychotic in this picture.."
Mom: "At least your face isn't all skewed like the last time. And you have color!"
Me: "The whole thing is color.. It's like Monopoly money on a license. The guy? He took my picture and asked if it was ok."
Mom: "You're kidding!"
Me: "I swear! I'm so coming back to this one next time. I think they have a Most Unflattering Picture contest at the other DMV."
Mom: "They gave you warning and everything?"
Me: "Yeah, and I didn't even do my hair.. I thought, 'What's the use?'"
Mom: "I'm getting my license here."
Me: "I didn't even get insulted. Not once.."
Mom: "I'm so coming back here.."
