Silver linings at the DMV...

While renewing my drivers license earlier this afternoon:

DMV employee: "How much do you weigh?"

Me: "Oh, man! You need to know that, too? I just gave birth 27 days ago."

DMV employee: "Well, how much would you like to weigh?"

Me: "OMG, really?!"

(Note: we settled on my prepregnancy weight. Not 115 pounds, like Trevor suggested.)
