Good Sign
Dear Diary:

My son had just turned 16 and was eager to get his learner’s permit. So after school one day, we headed to the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Coney Island.

My son filled out and submitted the paperwork just before the last exam of the day was announced.

A clerk called his name.

“But I haven’t looked at the manual yet,” my son said.

The clerk looked at him and then at his paperwork.

“Come on,” he said. “You’re a Capricorn. You know everything.”
