My dad is finally at the age where he’s applying for social security. He received his paperwork yesterday and they had placed his cover sheet on the disability request forms of someone else. As he was telling me about this, the following exchange occurred on his speakerphone:

Dad: I can’t believe they messed this up. This is a federal agency! Anyway, so I’m going to…
Me: Wait. Wait, wait, wait — rewind, and say what you just said again.
Dad: What?
Me: "I can’t believe they messed this up. This is a federal agency!"
(Mom, in the background, laughing hysterically)

That made my morning.
