From the highway-side in Renfrew, last weekend

[metawidget]

random, metawidget, rottenfruit and sleepy baby Oscar are pulled over on the roadside in Renfrew for a routine-ish traffic stop. random has one of those fun Ontario graduated licenses that requires a fully-licensed driver in the front passenger seat (which happens to describe metawidget).

Nice OPP officer

I'm going to need to see your license, as the driver's license is a G1.

Hey, that's a female's license!

metawidget

No, that's me with long hair.

Ian didn't share THAT part of the story. Now I want to see this driver's license photo. You're very pretty, yes, but even with long hair I can't imagine I'd mistake you for a woman.

If I ever look like the photo on my license, they should be taking the keys to my car--for some reason they won't let you wear your glasses when you get your photo taken in MA, so my eyes, unable to focus, go all weird, which means I look totally stoned on my ID.

So, should you wish to be female you would pass?

[metawidget]

I think the problem was that I looked male in person and female on my license, in the dark, to a rushed OPP officer — but I guess if I wanted to pass and had the in-person aspects covered, at least my one-glance ID might hold up…
