I am trying to explain to my naughty 4-year-old that it is just possible that we may not after all be able to go celebrate Halloween in England. All this is owing to a bureaucratic error at a National ID Card Printing Center somewhere near Paris, where they erroneously popped an African lady's face onto my brand new ID whilst the afore-mentioned African lady received my face on her card.
All the 4year-old can comprehend is that mommy needs a new picture. "But.. Why?"
The beauty of bureaucracy - that larger-than-life machine that in this highly digital age is incapable of undoing what has been done digitally, thus providing us with real life scenarios that are so highly unbelievable that one tends to believe that they were all made up by someone living somewhere near Hollywood, LA, USA.
"Trick or Treat?"
