Oh, that doll is awful. Is it an Anne Geddes thingie? You know the photographer who photographs all the babies in costume (they're usually cute). It seems to me they started putting out Anne Geddes dolls and they were freaktastic.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

What is even happening?

It always seemed weird to me that my parents waited so long to get around to it, and that it wasn't automatically done by the hospital at my birth.
I didn't get mine until I was going to start my first summer job. This has now been an issue every time I apply for a mortgage or home loan.

I have no earthly idea where my SS card is. I've known the number by heart ever since I applied for college, but the card itself has vanished into the ether.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got an SS # as a baby, I'm pretty sure, but I'm pretty sure that was unusual then -- I was in some study, and got paid for it. But the actual card I have is from my teen years, not sure why.
I'm watching an old CSI, and Kate Walsh is on as a transexual. Ha.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I first got a SSN when I was about 5. Then I got a new card when I was 16 and getting a summer job, because my parents had lost my old card. Then I got another new card my senior year of college when I was getting a job and I couldn't find my old one. And right now, I'm honestly not sure where that one is.

I had a SSN as an infant, because my parents were super responsible and started a savings account for each child pretty much at birth. I've gone through many cards, because I keep losing them. I think I have one in my wallet, which I know I'm not supposed to.

I hadn't seen my SS card for years (or for that matter, my birth certificate) so I just ended up getting new ones over the past couple of years. I just saw them today in my big office filing re-org so I know I still have 'em!

I had to get a new copy of my birth certificate a couple of years ago, too. I don't remember why. It lives in my fire-proof safe, now. Right now it is off at whatever office issues passports, but it should get back to me and back in the safe soon.

Our wings are not tired.
I went and got a SS card when I got my first job in my teens. My brother and I went together. They gave me mine on the spot, but had to mail him his because they had to be 11 numbers apart and they had to wait for a few more people to come in. I should ask him what his number ended up being. My kids got them at birth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My mom got me a SS# when I was four, I think. At my elementary school they once had a thing where all the kids lined up and went past a desk where we told a lady our SS# and - I dunno what it was for. All I really remember is being so nervous that I'd forget my number that I memorized it, and when the lady asked me, I blurted it out so fast she actually jumped. The other kids were reading theirs off their cards or pieces of paper; I don't know why I thought I had to know it by heart! But hey, I still remember it.
