The Late Birth Certificate

DoDo’s first duty assignment after his AIT graduation was in Germany; he called home and asked me to send him his birth certificate. I asked why did he need his birth certificate and who was he going to marry? He said he just wanted it. I asked him didn’t he know that I know that Uncle Sam know all that he needs to know about him and the only reason he needed his birth certificate was because he was going to marry someone. He confessed that he was going to get married and that his fiancée' was going to be deployed to Saudi Arabia. I sent the birth certificate but somehow, it arrived two days after Yvonne had gone to Saudi Arabia (oops! hehe!). He concluded that it was good he didn’t get the birth certificate in time because that was not the right time for him to get married to anyone. Then he wanted to know how I knew what his plans were. I told him that was simple. “I’m a mother”.
