Our former neighbor told us once how he hates the name "Department of Homeland Security." It's nearly impossible for a French-speaking person to say properly and requires quite a lot of lip effort. Ohmlayand Seecooritee. To me it sounds gratuitously American. Like they might as well go ahead and add "With Corn!" to the end to underline the point. The Department of Homeland Security With Corn!

Anyway, we received notice that The Department of Homeland Security (With Corn!) has started to process our kids' green cards. Finally. It came with the following extremely helpful notice:

At the top of this form you will see a very important number. This number is very important to you.

I'm glad they took the time to inform me that this number is not just generally important. Rather, it is specifically important to me.

If my previous experiences with Homeland Security are any indicator, I imagine our kids' green cards will show up about two weeks after they expire.
