Before we hit the open road, Hannah took the test to get her learner’s permit. That’s “temps” for you Wisconsinites.

She passed with flying colors, except for one thing:

the application.

This is how it went:

DMV employee reading Hannah’s application (let’s call her Darla Marie Vankemp): Eye color: aqua-marine? Aqua-marine is not an appropriate answer for eye color. What color are your eyes?

Hannah (respectfully): Aqua-Marine.

Darla M.V.: I cannot put aqua-marine on your application. What color are your eyes?

Hannah: What are my options?

Darla: Blue, brown, green, and hazel.

Hannah (with a conciliatory sigh): Blue.

Darla (reading): Hmm…hair, mocha?

She stares at Hannah, picks up her pen, scratches out mocha.

Darla: Hair: brown!

Personally, we think aqua-marine and mocha are more accurate.

Don’t you?

Besides hair and eye color, Hannah only got one other answer wrong, so now she can do this all around the country:

and her mother can do this all around the country:

Don’t talk and drive!

Ten and two!

Check your mirrors!

Did you just blink?! Eyes. on. the. road. every second!

Yee haa!

Well done, Hannah! Well done.
