What is Your Name?

While Dar was here when I first moved in we went to the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicle to get my drivers license changed. We waited and then they called me, she was not allowed to go beyond a certain point with me, I don't know why but it was like airport security. So I went in alone, they sent me to this woman who took all the documentation that I was told to bring, which included my NY license, birth certificate and social security card. She starts putting info in the computer and proceeds to tell me that I have lived in Delaware ( true ), then from there I lived in Arkansas ( false ) and then from there New York ( true ). I tell her that I have never lived in Arkansas to which she replies " Oh yes you have " To which I reply " Oh no I haven't ' to which she replies " Oh yes you have, maybe you don't remember " To which I reply " I think I would remember, but if you say so " To which she replied " I say so ". That was the end of that. She then sends me to another computer where I have to take the signs test, I ask what that is she say " your signs test " in a I can't believe you don't know what that is tone. So I sit down and look into this computer screen and all these signs pop up and you have to pick from multiple choice answers what they are. These signs are all blank just the shape, no letters, some shapes are very close to being the same, some I believe were the same just a different color. At this point I'm thinking I'm screwed since the DMV czar has confiscated my NY license and there is no way I know what some of these signs are for, I'm gonna have to make a break for the door. The guy sitting next to me helps me out, thanks to him I now know what the sign for logging trucks moving slowly up a hill is- who would know that if they aren't from around here? I hadn't even seen a logging truck at that point let alone one moving slowly up a hill, and to know that there is a sign for that! There were about 30 signs on that test on my own I think I got the stop sign, yield sign, school crossing sign and Railroad crossing sign, the rest I had no clue. I even asked which one was the hey look there's a flock of turkey in the filed on your right sign? No one laughed except me. So with help I pass the sign test and go back to the DMV czar, she finishes up and then sends me to the lady who will take my picture who asks if I need to " freshen up" I say no thanks I'm fresh enough, she looks at me like she thinks I need to freshen up but she takes my picture and then has me sit on the side and wait. She calls me over and hands me my brand new North Carolina drivers license, when I see the picture I have to admit she may have been right about that whole freshen up thing, then I notice my name. On my brand new North Carolina drivers license my name is Patti Ann Flanagan, and I think that's odd since my legal name is Patricia. So I go back to the DMV czar and say should my name be Patti Ann or Patricia, she says and I quote " Patti Ann IS your name ". I say thank you and leave. So I show my brand new North Carolina drivers license to Dar who laughs so hard she's crying and then she calls me Patti Ann. So what's your name? Do you know your own name? You might think you do but maybe if you got a brand new North Carolina drivers license you just might find out you don't really know your name or that you lived in Arkansas.
