The Law! (written in 2011)

Well, Jarett has been a "real deal" lawyer for just over a month now and already I have had two "you-know-you-are-married-to-a-lawyer" moments.  Thought I'd share:

The first was when Kaia was going to the zoo for a field trip.  We could pay the $8 for the bus and admission OR we could show a copy of her zoo pass (which we had).  So, I asked Jarett if he'd photocopy Kaia's zoo pass so that I could hand it in to her teacher.  He runs into the office and it had been photocopied.... along with being notarized with a sworn statement that "This is a true likeness of the Zoo Pass of Kaia Cahoon's" complete with Jarett's seal and signature.  Excited about being a notary much?

The other one was when we got a new car (transmission in the Sienna was shot).  I needed to switch the plates and register them in his name.  I called ahead to ask what I needed and found out that I just needed Jarett's signature saying that I was allowed to register this car in his name with the VIN on it.  Instead I got a whole letter, complete with the seal from a notary saying swearing this affadavit to be made in a sound mind etc.

Good grief!
