Carded at 32

Tonight, the family and I went out to dinner with a gang of eight other friends. I was very surprised, but extremely flattered, to be asked for my ID. Since I’m thirty-two, with a birthday coming up in August, I was delighted by this request. As dinner came to a close, I asked our server very politely if she wouldn’t mind posing with me while she held my ID. As I’m only getting older, I thought this was one of the last times I would be asked for ID. Before tonight, it had been years, so I thought the moment should be captured on camera. Kandis and the server graciously agreed to the proposal, which was really a bit ridiculous.

Thanks to our wonderful waitress and my most lovely wife for agreeing to this goofball stunt!

I might add that Cooper was just to my left in this picture. In an effort to preempt any criticism of our parenting abilities, I will say that no toddlers were psychologically damaged while this photo was being taken. Any criticism — especially that from the extreme right wing — will be placed in our circular file with the utmost care.
