a funny thing happened to my family today.
In 1978 my parents immigrated to this country from africa, and they've been living here (legally) ever since.
However today my mother went to go change her birth day because instead of August 1 it read August 11 on her social security form. SO she goes and a woman working at the office askes her for her papers verifying that she is a alien. My mother of cource is shocked and tells the woman that she's a citizen 1978. The woman then is also shocked, and says the last records she has of my parents being in this country is 1978 and they were not yet citizens. So tommorow my mother has to take in papers verifying her citizenship.
Now normally this would just be weird, but both of my parents have traveled abroad before and my mother even went to africa, got my grandmother, and brought her back, and helped her file for citizenship too. So it's just interesting how this hasn't been caught till now.
