'Confused??????'

This story has a moral--really it does! So yesterday, I 'hopped' over to the DMV to pay taxes on mine and mom's cars. Ok, first their 'stupid' intercom system was yelling at me to get in the right spot.[yelled at by a machine--how embarassing!!!] First thing I discover is that the reason MY paperwork had not come in the mail, was because MY taxes weren't due until NEXT month. So why do I have a sticker that says 10? They didn't know but---would fix it. I give them my money they give me ----papers? I notice that one 11 is red and one is green. Ok, either mine or mom's car is going to be a 'cop magnet' this year. I don't care, I'm sick of this place!!! I walk two buildings over to get a motorcycle handbook [Dennis is getting me a scooter] and repent of my earlier thought. [maybe it was the 15 minute wait to get the handbook] I decide to go back to the DMV but first---I'll look closely at the paperwork. Oh wait--there are 3 11's. Ok, I guess they moved mom's due month to the 11th too. I'm 'outta here!' So, I call mom and tell her that her car is 'good to go' but can we borrow it. [whole nuther story] also, her month is now the 11. Totaly confused her!!! I get home and am telling Bryon about how the DMV 'screwed up". He says, 'no mom, NEXT year IS 2011.' Oh crap, now it's all crystal clear but--- I've confused Mom. Never, NEVER listen to ME mom. [oh, that's the moral:]
