In the past two weeks...

I have:

1. Visited a new doctor ... and been asked to show ID
2. Signed my son up for preschool ... and been asked to show ID
3. Been pulled over for speeding (*ahem*) ... and been asked to show ID
4. Purchased something with a credit card ... and been asked to show ID
5. Traveled on an airplane ... and been asked to show ID
6. Bought compressed air ... and been asked to show ID

I KNOW - can you even believe what I've endured in the last 14 days. The horror! It's amazing really that I'm still alive to tell the tale. I mean, my driver's license is in my wallet, in my purse, and to get to it I have to undo TWO snaps and a zipper. How dare they inflict this hardship on me!

Not to mention, I'm a woman and half of the people asking to see my ID were men, so I've clearly been the victim of sexism. And two were not the same race as me, so I've definitely been the victim of racism.

I don't know how I stand it, I really don't.
