An EU passport to die for but... our kids have the opportunity to obtain EU passports given that they presently have dual citizenship (American and Austrian). Good parents are we that we are going through the arduous and painful process of paperwork involved in getting said EU passports. This process involves pain for parents AND kids respectively meaning that parents must sift through old not-as-organized-as-we-would-like files reminding us of where we used to live, to what places we have traveled, and the time-line of our children's lives. For the kids it means driving down a quarter of a mile into town to the photo shop that will take the prerequisite 5 cm by 4 cm (not standard) passport photos. Said kids must also pull up a Microsoft Word Resume template that will enable them to document their where-abouts and doings over their respectively short 21-year-old and 19-year-old lives. So let's have a heart attack that the passport photo guy is a bit challenged (but certainly not defeated) that he has to re-configure the passport photos to agree to the metric system. The daughter particularly seems dis-proportionately put out. My god young woman!... it's not yet a done deal but if you get this passport, you can essentially work anywhere in America and the European continent. And if you travel to Europe, you won't have to wait in those long annoying lines at customs like the rest of the fat Americans waiting to get through. Work with me girl...
