    You just reminded me of passport control! In those days Ireland issued 10 year passports to kids. I had gotten mine at 7 or 8 so it was nearly out of date and obviously I looked nothing like my passport photo with my 1980’s “bowl” haircut. This is pre-laminated passport days where they literally glued your picture to your passport.

    Anyway… we all got a good looking over but the passport control guy must have looked at me, then passport, then me, for what felt like five minutes. No words were spoken. It was very intimidating.

      “Oh fuck, what do I do??? They’re going to figure out I can’t read if I keep looking at this kids passport much longer!”
