Can I Please See Your ID?

Sometimes when I see the boy with some of his Lost and Confused Adolescent Friends, it reminds me of how fast time goes by.
They are precious…even when they are playing with aspartame packets at the restaurant.
LCAT Kegan’s mom is the gorgeous Miss Shannon shown above. And his dad of course get a phone call from work the minute we put the boat in.
Anyway, you don’t feel how quickly time gets away from you if you get carded at the restaurant. Miss Shannon was asked to show ID before getting served. She didn’t have her wallet with her…Kegan’s dad was driving after all. So she went back to the boat and came back with her fishing license, which she showed the waiter. He wasn’t buying it so he asked for a credit card, which she couldn’t produce because (once more) she didn’t have her wallet. I told the waiter that LCAT Kegan was her son, he just got his learner’s permit (oh time does fly) but he wasn’t convinced.
So Kegan’s dad showed him his credit card, the waiter saw that they both had the same last name and that her birth date was on the fishing license, and he relented and got her a drink. I’ve never seen a fishing license be accepted as proof of age before.
So what if the kids get older?…as long as moms don’t.
Posted on Mosaic Monday. Happy Labor Day everyone!
Oh, I’m still laughing. That was just too funny for me!
That is hilarious!
I’m still mourning the fact that I didn’t get carded last time I asked for a Corona. Usually I’m teased mercilessly by my friends because of it – but I order a drink so infrequently I usually avoid the embarrassment altogether. How funny about the fishing license!
And about your comment on our blog… my grandfather was part German, but never spoke it. I’m mostly Irish/Scottish (at least that’s the part that comes out in my skin tone and temper!), but picked up some German in my research into WW1. Isn’t VERBOTEN a word that’s meant to be said with passion?! Especially when it comes to sugar overload for a 3-year old?! Are you German? Always envied people who spoke it fluently!
That’s a good one! The last time I got carded two years ago, not only did they check the date on the license but they made me tell them my birth date without looking at my license. Are you kidding me? I was 50 years old…and trust me, I look it. (Something tells me they had been cited for serving underage drinkers!)
LOL i would really like to be ASKED for my ID lately.
Fun post.
If you have a moment– I would love for you to stop by.
TTFN~~Claudia ♥ ♥
oh, ID can always be an issue. savour those moments.
I love love love it. She must be on top of the world. Now what’s her secret. Great post and mosaic. Sharon
That is awesome. Getting carded is like the greatest compliment ever!
That is so funny!
LOL…I’ve even told someone ‘Bless you’ when they ask for ID…
Gee, I can’t remember ever looking young enough to get carded… looks like a fun day on the water. Thanks for sharing your terrific images at Mosaic mOnday.
