Multiple Personalities

Sometimes the person you think you are is NOT what other people see, or maybe it’s just your photo ID?

One morning last week The Professional called Punk with an interesting story. She had been buying groceries (what kind of groceries she bought is NOT the interesting part although in certain parts of the country it could be) and when The Professional went to pay for said groceries the cashier asked for her credit card and ID. After careful review, the cashier proceeded to tell The Professional that the ID and credit card did not match. Well, The Professional is used to this and has had similar questions before due to her last name being hyphenated (yes, she has one of those names…she is The Professional after all). She carefully explained her name situation to the cashier who just looked at her blankly. The more The Professional explained, the more daunting the cashiers look became. Finally, he said “NO the names do not match” and handed the ID and credit card back to The Professional. Looking at both closely she found she had to agree with him for smiling up at her was PUNK.
She had Punks ID.
Punk, listening to this story, stopped and checked her wallet. Sure enough, she had The Professional’s ID! How had this happened? Rewind to the prior weekend. The girls had gone dancing at a “21 and older” club, so the club hostess had checked their ID’s (which is considered a complement to anyone who has been 26 for over 10 years as ALL of the Momadonnas have). The hostess must have handed the girls back the wrong IDs! Not that it is entirely the Clubs fault, for both Punk and The Professional had ample time to notice this discrepancy as they moved their ID into their wallets and purses over the next few days. Who knows how long they would have had gone on being each other if the cashier had not checked! The girls consider themselves very lucky because with the way The Professional gets speeding tickets, it’s a good bet they would have found out about the ID switch in a BAD way!
