Dad (00:00):
Hey, Nora,
Norah (00:01):
Hello, dad.
Dad (00:02):
What are we gonna talk about this week?
Norah (00:04):
Today we are going to talk about what's been going on
in our lives and just catch up alittle bit.
Dad (00:21):
Welcome back to the Nora and dad show.
I am as always dad and I'm herewith my lovely daughter, Nora.
Hi, Nora.
Norah (00:31):
Hello?
How have you
Dad (00:33):
I've been.
good.
I mean, well, you see me everyday, but the listeners haven't
seen us for a few weeks.
Is that right?
Is that possible that we haven'tdone a show in three weeks?
How are you?
Norah (00:42):
Um, I'm pretty good.
I'm on break now.
Dad (00:45):
You're on spring break.
we can talk about spring breakplans, but let's I think first,
you, haven't been feeling great.
and every time we went torecord, you just, uh, you
weren't feeling all thatstellar.
And so the recordings keptgetting delayed and we had to
keep just kind of pushingepisodes off, but we're back
(01:06):
now, finally it after threeweeks.
Yeah, last Sunday, we were allset to record.
And we had to make a little, uh,little pit stop up to the old
pediatric emergency room.
Norah (01:17):
So that's always really fun.
I was just having some.
Issues with my stomach.
And then I went to the hospitaland they were like, oh, I just
have a couple cysts.
And they made it sound a lotscarier than it was.
Cuz then I went to like aprofessional in that field.
Not like, again, the ER, doctorsare professionals, but they work
with everyone, not like specificissues.
Dad (01:39):
It wasn't a doctor.
It was a physician assistant andnot to disparage physician
assistants.
but they're not physicians andthe ER docs while they offer a
wonderful service.
And I'm glad they are there.
you're right.
Not specialists in what youneeded a specialist for.
and thankfully we made an with aspecialist after the, um ER,
visit and got everything clearedup and it was not anything
(02:02):
major.
She changed up some medicationsand hopefully that'll fix the
problem.
Norah (02:07):
I am wanting the problem to be fixed.
Dad (02:11):
I know you're I know you, you haven't felt well for a few
months and, um, and withoutgoing into too much detail that
nobody really needs to know.
we're, cautiously optimisticthat the, new medication or the
change in medication that thedoctor put you on will help you
out.
Norah (02:27):
that is the plan.
Dad (02:29):
So yay for emergency rooms.
yay.
For doctors.
Yay.
For new medications.
not so yay for recording ourpodcast and bringing this to
everybody every week because wehaven't, been able to do that.
So, let's catch everybody up.
What's going on with the oldmock trial.
Norah (02:44):
So our blue team went to states.
they got up into, they were oneof the top eight teams in Ohio,
which was cool.
I got best witness
Dad (02:55):
So this is a, so,
Norah (02:57):
cool.
Um,
Dad (02:59):
so, so mock trial, it, it is, it is an actual competition,
like schools go against schoolsand they whittle it down to, um,
from like an initial round tolike a regional or sectional
round down to the states.
and one of your schools, threeteams made it all the way to
states.
They, one of the final eightteams in the state.
yeah, which is awesome.
(03:20):
your team, unfortunately, didnot get that far as we talked
about an earlier episode, yougot knocked out in the second
round, but, some individualglory for Nora Hyman
Norah (03:31):
Yes, best witness.
Dad (03:33):
and then individual best witness.
What is, what is best witness.
Like?
What is, can you explain whatthat means
Norah (03:38):
It means well,
Dad (03:39):
Other than are the best witness?
Norah (03:41):
You're judged for your cross examination and your
direct examination out of 10 foreach one.
And in our case, we had twojudges.
So our entire like score was outof 40.
So yeah.
Dad (03:53):
When you say you're judged, is it judged like on the, the
quality of your acting?
Like how well you stick to thecharacter, how you handle
yourself when you're talking tothe attorneys, all of the above,
like what's the, what's thecriteria that you're judged on.
Norah (04:09):
Um, well, it depends on how competent is that a word
competent, competent.
The judges are.
Yes.
Dad (04:17):
competent competence or word, are you saying they're Are
you saying there, there are,there are incompetent judges.
Norah (04:22):
Um, I have witnessed a few.
Well, it's just also, you cantell which ones know the case
and which ones don't, which thatplays a lot into it, because if
someone knows the case reallywell, then the facts are
probably more important than thecharacterization.
They're both, it's reallyimportant, but if someone knows
the case, they're gonna belooking more for the facts and
(04:43):
how well you act, um, But if youhave someone that doesn't know
the case super well, theyprobably like, if you say
something wrong and an attorneydoesn't catch it, they're also
not gonna know because theydon't know the case very well.
So
Dad (04:58):
and so what do you get a trophy, a certificate, just a
Hardy pat on the back from yourcoach.
That's really exciting.
Norah (05:08):
Yes, I was very happy because I did not score very
well.
The first round.
Dad (05:14):
And you were very upset cuz you worked really hard and I
will say, uh, you worked really,really hard and while.
As your dad, I will tell youthat there are more, there are
more important things thanwinning and awards.
I think it's what you've learnedfrom the experience and get out
of the experience.
And, there is in a competition,there's a winner and a loser,
(05:35):
and you're not always gonna win.
Um, and, uh, you can't controlthe judges like that's outta
your control.
You can only do, as I've toldoften in things you've done,
like you can only control thejob that you do and you,
everything else is out of yourcontrol.
Uh, you shouldn't worry about.
But what was in your control?
Like you did awesome.
You were great.
Norah (05:53):
Thank you.
Dad (05:55):
And so from the two trials I watched, I would say you.
very, very, very well earnedyour best witness award.
So kudos, congratulations.
I'm, I'm proud of you for doingsomething that was out of your
comfort zone, mock trial, butI'm also proud that you worked
real, really, really hard and,all that work, all that hard
work was recognized by somebodyelse.
Norah (06:15):
Thank you.
Dad (06:16):
You.
are on spring break right now.
Yay.
Norah (06:20):
It is so nice.
and they have weeks to school
Dad (06:24):
a after spring break, you go back in the home stretch for
like six weeks, but your schoolunlike probably just about every
other.
below college level school, youget a two week spring break.
Norah (06:35):
It is very nice.
No
Dad (06:37):

Norah (06:38):

Dad (06:38):

I would, I would not, I wouldnot complain if I were at all.
And, uh, we are thankfully inthe middle of that break, we get
to take a little trip.
Norah (06:51):
I'm very excited for the little trip.
Dad (06:54):
Do you wanna tell everyone where we're going on?
Our, our little spring breakadventure?
Norah (06:57):
I actually don't know.
Dad (06:58):
What?
Norah (06:59):
I know the state, but I don't know what city we're going
to,
Dad (07:02):
All right, let's start with the state.
What state are we going to, Anddon't say state of confusion,
even though it's what it soundslike you're in.
Norah (07:07):
Phil.
Dad (07:09):
We are going to Florida, we're actually going to Miami or
just north of Miami.
The town Hollywood.
Florida.
Yeah, we got a little, a littleAirbnb.
grandma and grandpa are gonnafly down from Philadelphia and
meet us there for a few days.
And we're gonna, we have a pooland there's a beach, not too far
from there.
The house is on a little canal,so we'll have a water view and
(07:32):
we're gonna enjoy a few days inthe sun in Miami.
And I am super, super, superexcited.
Norah (07:40):
Me as well.
Haven't been there since I waslike
Dad (07:43):
We haven't in Florida,
Norah (07:47):
Yeah.
Dad (07:48):
five five was the last time you were in Florida I don't
really count
Norah (07:52):
Nevermind not Disney's Florida
Dad (07:54):
like a whole separate, I mean, it's in Florida, but it's
like a whole separate animal.
So, um, gonna, we're gonna soakup Miami for a few days and
yeah, we'll, I don't know.
We'll walk south beach and yourmom, who's obsessed with
monkeys.
There's a monkey.
Some kind of monkey sanctuary.
We can go and I don't know, feedthe monkeys or pet the monkeys
(08:15):
or something.
And so we'll go give your mom,her monkey fix and, and we'll
hang out with grandma andgrandpa, we'll go swimming and
we'll play cards and we'll justchill for a few days and not
think about work and school andeverything thing else.
And it's gonna be awesome.
Norah (08:32):
I'm very excited.
Dad (08:33):
Uh, you have one other big plan over spring break, that I'm
gonna take you to do in a coupleof days.
You're gonna go.
Hopefully fingers crossed thatyou passed finally get your,
temporary, uh, driver's permit.
Norah (08:49):
Oh, yeah.
I was like, I don't know whatyou're talking about, but now I
do.
I was
Dad (08:53):
I know you didn't.
That's why I kept talking.
I know you had, I know you hadno idea.
You're gonna go.
Hopefully if you pass, get yourpermits and we'll start, God,
help me teaching you how todrive.
Norah (09:04):
I know how to drive
Dad (09:06):
I would please, would
Norah (09:08):
do.
I have, think
Dad (09:09):
an episode, it's because it's because you crashed the car
and we ended up and we ended upback in the hot.
Norah (09:15):
Okay.
Parking is another story.
Don't wanna do that, but I thinkdriving is just being aware of
your surroundings.
That's most of it.
Dad (09:22):
Um, it.
is what, okay.
But here's the deal
Norah (09:25):
Here you ask me a question.
Dad (09:27):
you do eventually have you, you will eventually have to park
the car.
Norah (09:33):
well, yeah, but in order
Dad (09:34):
Oh.
Is, is the um,
Norah (09:35):
car works first.
Dad (09:37):
let me see.
Ohio.
I'm gonna Google, Ohio drivingtest
Norah (09:42):
The first test, test I took I an 85%.
The second one I took, I got a77% were really weird.
And I didn't know what, whatdefensive driving was.
I was, I, the, I was reading itout loud when I was at the salon
with mom and she didn't know theanswers either for some of them,
(10:03):
because they were just phrasedreally weirdly, or one of the
questions was about like
Dad (10:07):
Uh, ha
Norah (10:07):
answers were about snow.
It was really weird.
Didn't understand that one.
Dad (10:11):
I'm waiting for the, okay.
An orange triangular sign on theback of a vehicle.
Indicates a do not follow Bhazardous materials.
C no passing or D slow movingvehicle.
Norah (10:32):
This was not one that I studied for.
Okay.
I have a question.
When not follow what happens ifyou're just behind it.
Dad (10:42):
an orange triangular
Norah (10:43):
Well, I feel like an orange triangular sign normally
means yield.
So probably to, it goes slow.
I don't know.
Dad (10:50):
So your answer is slow moving vehicle.
Norah (10:53):
I don't know.
This is process elimination didnot study for this question.
Dad (10:57):
Is, is that your answer?
Norah (10:58):
I guess,
Dad (11:00):
That is correct.
Norah (11:01):
yes.
Ha.
I've never seen that before.
Dad (11:06):
If you feel tired while driving, you should not do which
of the following
Norah (11:12):
Oh goodness.
Dad (11:13):
Play the radio.
Engage in light conversation.
Turn up the heat inside the car,pull off the road to rest or
stop to stretch and have adrink.
Norah (11:24):
Like an alcoholic
Dad (11:26):
feel tired while driving, it just says, have a
Norah (11:29):
Okay.
I'm assume
Dad (11:29):
If you feel tired while driving, which, which shouldn't
you do play the radio, engage inlight conversation, turn up the
heat, pull off the road to rest,stop to stretch and have a
drink.
Norah (11:41):
I feel like he normally makes people more tired.
So probably that one.
Dad (11:47):
you are correct.
Norah (11:48):
these are I'm so good.
See, I already know how todrive.
I'm so good.
Dad (11:55):
Let's see.
All right, next question.
Traffic control signs.
This is fascinating trafficcontrols.
This will be our last one.
Traffic control signs aredesigned to regulate worn and
guide vehicular traffic andpedestrian traffic motorcycle
ethic.
Bicyclist or horse drawnvehicles, traffic control signs
(12:22):
are designed to regulate wornand guide vehicular traffic.
And which of the followingpedestrian traffic motorcycle,
traffic bicyclist, or horsedrawn vehicles.
Norah (12:33):
Okay.
Well, it's not pedestriansbecause they have this specific
like thing for pedestrians, youknow, like the hang and or the
person walking, like if you'rewalking down the street and you
see no, cause I guess if you seea stop sign, you do stop.
(12:54):
But you don't have to like yieldwhen you're walking.
So I guess it deter, it dependson the sign.
Cause if I see a stop sign,wait.
No, well, if you see a stop signfor another car, then you stop,
but you always stop when youcross the road.
So I don't think it'spedestrians, but then also I
feel like motorcycle lists arepart of like, that goes under
(13:18):
like vehicles.
And so does horse drawncarriage?
So I'm gonna go with.
Bicycle lists
Dad (13:25):
The answer is pedestrians.
I would say I would've thoughtall the above would've been an,
an option, cuz that seems like atrick question, but
Norah (13:31):
what?
Dad (13:33):
cuz motorcycles, motorcycles have to follow The
Norah (13:35):
The car?
Dad (13:36):
signs as do.
Yeah.
as do
Norah (13:41):
Pedestrians don't have freaking road signs.
You're not gonna see pedestrianwalking down street.
That's why there are sidewalks.
Dad (13:51):
I think,
Norah (13:51):
is a BS I'm very upset
Dad (13:53):
Here's one.
All right here.
All right, I'm gonna do onehere.
I'm gonna do one more.
And, um, and let's hope that,um, it's one that you never have
to use.
Although I will say I got in acar accident on the very first
day I had my driver's license.
Back when I was 16.
Let's hope you don't do That
Norah (14:11):
is the plan.
Dad (14:13):
after a crash, you must collect all the following
information from the otherdriver, except their phone
number, their address, theirinsurance information, their
driver's license number or theirname.
Norah (14:28):
Okay, well, you need their name.
You need their insuranceinformation.
You would probably need theirphone number for contact
information.
What were the other two?
Dad (14:37):
driver's license number, address,
Norah (14:40):
um,
Dad (14:40):
information name.
Norah (14:42):
maybe a address for like bills, if like there's like an
incident.
Like if you need to go to thehospital, I don't know why you
need their driver's licensenumber.
Well, cuz when you've gotten anaccident, I've never seen that
needed.
So I'm gonna go that one.
Dad (14:59):
The correct answer is actually their phone number.
And no, I don't think I've evergotten driver's license number,
but I've gotten license platenumbers, and I've gotten the,
the VIN number, which is theidentification number for the
vehicle.
I don't think I've ever gotten a
Norah (15:09):
think
Dad (15:09):
license number, but now I, know I have to.
So.
Norah (15:12):
I feel like a, um, which am I call it?
The license plate number wouldbe more useful.
Dad (15:20):
Okay.
So here's what I learned.
Um, you need to study morebefore
Norah (15:23):
Well, those weren't the I, what website were you on?
Dad (15:27):
I don't know some
Norah (15:28):
I was on the wait.
Were you doing the Ohio DMVpractice test?
Dad (15:33):
and I was doing whatever Google gave I
Norah (15:34):
Okay.
Well you just need to get a 75,so.
Dad (15:39):
Yeah.
Okay.
I think you'll be fine.
Norah (15:42):
When we were at the salon, Cassie said that her
brother failed his first testbecause the only questions he
got were about tractors,
Dad (15:50):
I know a friend of mine growing up who is now an
oncologist failed his writtentest twice.
So.
it happens.
Norah (15:58):
it does
Dad (15:58):
What are you gonna You'll be fine.
We'll update everybody in afuture episode about, your temps

Dad (16:16):
Oh Lord, help us.
Yes.
You could drive us to school.
I mean, you have to practice, so
Norah (16:21):

the case, they're gonna belooking more for the facts and
(04:43):
how well you act, um, But if youhave someone that doesn't know
the case super well, theyprobably like, if you say
something wrong and an attorneydoesn't catch it, they're also
not gonna know because theydon't know the case very well.
So
Dad (04:58):
and so what do you get a trophy, a certificate, just a
Hardy pat on the back from yourcoach.
That's really exciting.
Norah (05:08):
Yes, I was very happy because I did not score very
well.
The first round.
Dad (05:14):
And you were very upset cuz you worked really hard and I
will say, uh, you worked really,really hard and while.
As your dad, I will tell youthat there are more, there are
more important things thanwinning and awards.
I think it's what you've learnedfrom the experience and get out
of the experience.
And, there is in a competition,there's a winner and a loser,
(05:35):
and you're not always gonna win.
Um, and, uh, you can't controlthe judges like that's outta
your control.
You can only do, as I've toldoften in things you've done,
like you can only control thejob that you do and you,
everything else is out of yourcontrol.
Uh, you shouldn't worry about.
But what was in your control?
Like you did awesome.
You were great.
Norah (05:53):
Thank you.
Dad (05:55):
And so from the two trials I watched, I would say you.
very, very, very well earnedyour best witness award.
So kudos, congratulations.
I'm, I'm proud of you for doingsomething that was out of your
comfort zone, mock trial, butI'm also proud that you worked
real, really, really hard and,all that work, all that hard
work was recognized by somebodyelse.
Norah (06:15):
Thank you.
Dad (06:16):

Dad (06:58):

Norah (06:59):
I know the state, but I don't know what city we're going
to,
Dad (07:02):
All right, let's start with the state.
What state are we going to, Anddon't say state of confusion,
even though it's what it soundslike you're in.
Norah (07:07):
Phil.
Dad (07:09):
We are going to Florida, we're actually going to Miami or
just north of Miami.
The town Hollywood.
Florida.
Yeah, we got a little, a littleAirbnb.
grandma and grandpa are gonnafly down from Philadelphia and
meet us there for a few days.
And we're gonna, we have a pooland there's a beach, not too far
from there.
The house is on a little canal,so we'll have a water view and
(07:32):
we're gonna enjoy a few days inthe sun in Miami.
And I am super, super, superexcited.
Norah (07:40):
Me as well.
Haven't been there since I waslike
Dad (07:43):
We haven't in Florida,
Norah (07:47):
Yeah.
Dad (07:48):
five five was the last time you were in Florida I don't
really count
Norah (07:52):
Nevermind not Disney's Florida
Dad (07:54):
like a whole separate, I mean, it's in Florida, but it's
like a whole separate animal.
So, um, gonna, we're gonna soakup Miami for a few days and
yeah, we'll, I don't know.
We'll walk south beach and yourmom, who's obsessed with
monkeys.
There's a monkey.
Some kind of monkey sanctuary.
We can go and I don't know, feedthe monkeys or pet the monkeys
(08:15):
or something.
And so we'll go give your mom,her monkey fix and, and we'll
hang out with grandma andgrandpa, we'll go swimming and
we'll play cards and we'll justchill for a few days and not
think about work and school andeverything thing else.
And it's gonna be awesome.
Norah (08:32):
I'm very excited.
Dad (08:33):
Uh, you have one other big plan over spring break, that I'm
gonna take you to do in a coupleof days.
You're gonna go.
Hopefully fingers crossed thatyou passed finally get your,
temporary, uh, driver's permit.
Norah (08:49):
Oh, yeah.
I was like, I don't know whatyou're talking about, but now I
do.
I was
Dad (08:53):
I know you didn't.
That's why I kept talking.
I know you had, I know you hadno idea.
You're gonna go.
Hopefully if you pass, get yourpermits and we'll start, God,
help me teaching you how todrive.
Norah (09:04):
I know how to drive
Dad (09:06):
I would please, would
Norah (09:08):
do.
I have, think
Dad (09:09):
an episode, it's because it's because you crashed the car
and we ended up and we ended upback in the hot.
Norah (09:15):
Okay.
Parking is another story.
Don't wanna do that, but I thinkdriving is just being aware of
your surroundings.
That's most of it.
Dad (09:22):
Um, it.
is what, okay.
But here's the deal
Norah (09:25):
Here you ask me a question.
Dad (09:27):
you do eventually have you, you will eventually have to park
the car.
Norah (09:33):
well, yeah, but in order
Dad (09:34):
Oh.
Is, is the um,
Norah (09:35):
car works first.
Dad (09:37):
let me see.
Ohio.
I'm gonna Google, Ohio drivingtest
Norah (09:42):
The first test, test I took I an 85%.
The second one I took, I got a77% were really weird.
And I didn't know what, whatdefensive driving was.
I was, I, the, I was reading itout loud when I was at the salon
with mom and she didn't know theanswers either for some of them,
(10:03):
because they were just phrasedreally weirdly, or one of the
questions was about like
Dad (10:07):
Uh, ha
Norah (10:07):
answers were about snow.
It was really weird.
Didn't understand that one.
Dad (10:11):
I'm waiting for the, okay.
An orange triangular sign on theback of a vehicle.
Indicates a do not follow Bhazardous materials.
C no passing or D slow movingvehicle.
Norah (10:32):
This was not one that I studied for.
Okay.
I have a question.
When not follow what happens ifyou're just behind it.
Dad (10:42):
an orange triangular
Norah (10:43):
Well, I feel like an orange triangular sign normally
means yield.
So probably to, it goes slow.
I don't know.
Dad (10:50):
So your answer is slow moving vehicle.
Norah (10:53):
I don't know.
This is process elimination didnot study for this question.
Dad (10:57):
Is, is that your answer?
Norah (10:58):
I guess,
Dad (11:00):
That is correct.
Norah (11:01):
yes.
Ha.
I've never seen that before.
Dad (11:06):
If you feel tired while driving, you should not do which
of the following
Norah (11:12):
Oh goodness.
Dad (11:13):
Play the radio.
Engage in light conversation.
Turn up the heat inside the car,pull off the road to rest or
stop to stretch and have adrink.
Norah (11:24):
Like an alcoholic
Dad (11:26):
feel tired while driving, it just says, have a
Norah (11:29):
Okay.
I'm assume
Dad (11:29):
If you feel tired while driving, which, which shouldn't
you do play the radio, engage inlight conversation, turn up the
heat, pull off the road to rest,stop to stretch and have a
drink.
Norah (11:41):
I feel like he normally makes people more tired.
So probably that one.
Dad (11:47):
you are correct.
Norah (11:48):
these are I'm so good.
See, I already know how todrive.
I'm so good.
Dad (11:55):
Let's see.
All right, next question.
Traffic control signs.
This is fascinating trafficcontrols.
This will be our last one.
Traffic control signs aredesigned to regulate worn and
guide vehicular traffic andpedestrian traffic motorcycle
ethic.
Bicyclist or horse drawnvehicles, traffic control signs
(12:22):
are designed to regulate wornand guide vehicular traffic.
And which of the followingpedestrian traffic motorcycle,
traffic bicyclist, or horsedrawn vehicles.
Norah (12:33):
Okay.
Well, it's not pedestriansbecause they have this specific
like thing for pedestrians, youknow, like the hang and or the
person walking, like if you'rewalking down the street and you
see no, cause I guess if you seea stop sign, you do stop.
(12:54):
But you don't have to like yieldwhen you're walking.
So I guess it deter, it dependson the sign.
Cause if I see a stop sign,wait.
No, well, if you see a stop signfor another car, then you stop,
but you always stop when youcross the road.
So I don't think it'spedestrians, but then also I
feel like motorcycle lists arepart of like, that goes under
(13:18):
like vehicles.
And so does horse drawncarriage?
So I'm gonna go with.
Bicycle lists
Dad (13:25):
The answer is pedestrians.
I would say I would've thoughtall the above would've been an,
an option, cuz that seems like atrick question, but
Norah (13:31):
what?
Dad (13:33):
cuz motorcycles, motorcycles have to follow The
Norah (13:35):
The car?
Dad (13:36):
signs as do.
Yeah.
as do
Norah (13:41):
Pedestrians don't have freaking road signs.
You're not gonna see pedestrianwalking down street.
That's why there are sidewalks.
Dad (13:51):
I think,
Norah (13:51):
is a BS I'm very upset
Dad (13:53):
Here's one.
All right here.
All right, I'm gonna do onehere.
I'm gonna do one more.
And, um, and let's hope that,um, it's one that you never have
to use.
Although I will say I got in acar accident on the very first
day I had my driver's license.
Back when I was 16.
Let's hope you don't do That
Norah (14:11):
is the plan.
Dad (14:13):
after a crash, you must collect all the following
information from the otherdriver, except their phone
number, their address, theirinsurance information, their
driver's license number or theirname.
Norah (14:28):
Okay, well, you need their name.
You need their insuranceinformation.
You would probably need theirphone number for contact
information.
What were the other two?
Dad (14:37):
driver's license number, address,
Norah (14:40):
um,
Dad (14:40):
information name.
Norah (14:42):
maybe a address for like bills, if like there's like an
incident.
Like if you need to go to thehospital, I don't know why you
need their driver's licensenumber.
Well, cuz when you've gotten anaccident, I've never seen that
needed.
So I'm gonna go that one.
Dad (14:59):
The correct answer is actually their phone number.
And no, I don't think I've evergotten driver's license number,
but I've gotten license platenumbers, and I've gotten the,
the VIN number, which is theidentification number for the
vehicle.
I don't think I've ever gotten a
Norah (15:09):
think
Dad (15:09):
license number, but now I, know I have to.
So.
Norah (15:12):
I feel like a, um, which am I call it?
The license plate number wouldbe more useful.
Dad (15:20):
Okay.
So here's what I learned.
Um, you need to study morebefore
Norah (15:23):
Well, those weren't the I, what website were you on?
Dad (15:27):
I don't know some
Norah (15:28):
I was on the wait.
Were you doing the Ohio DMVpractice test?
Dad (15:33):
and I was doing whatever Google gave I
Norah (15:34):
Okay.
Well you just need to get a 75,so.
Dad (15:39):
Yeah.
Okay.
I think you'll be fine.
Norah (15:42):
When we were at the salon, Cassie said that her
brother failed his first testbecause the only questions he
got were about tractors,
Dad (15:50):
I know a friend of mine growing up who is now an
oncologist failed his writtentest twice.
So.
it happens.
Norah (15:58):
it does
Dad (15:58):
What are you gonna You'll be fine.
We'll update everybody in afuture episode about, your temps

Yes.
You could drive us to school.
