For the first time ever I got called up for jury duty.
It came in the mail today, and as much as I hope that someday there will be a season in my life when I can be a good citizen and serve on a jury, this just ain't it. So I asked for an exemption based on having "legal custody of a child or children younger than 10 years of age and service on the jury would require leaving the child or children without adequate supervision."

I suppose I could hire someone to take over for me, but my goodness, I have no idea what bonbon-eaters get paid these days!
