Reasons NOT to take your small children to the Post Office during the holiday season to send a package internationally!

While waiting in line:
- Your 3 year old holds the rotating Christmas Tree in place.
- He then picks up the angel decoration and it drops on the floor.
- He sings Ho, Ho, Ho to himself while dancing.
At the counter:
- The clerk does not accept the pre-filled in customs form.
- She turns you away to fill out an even longer one and reminds you to address your package.
- One year old starts to whine, wants out of stroller.
At the bench:
- Graham crackers are distributed, peace for a moment.
- Finish filling out longer form and addressing package.
While waiting in line again:
- Must pick up and hold one year old while 3 year old chooses not to listen some more.
- One year old drops graham cracker on the floor.
At the counter again:
- New clerk says I have the wrong form, must fill out new one.
- 3 year old walks back to bench away from the counter, I call him back and make him sit in the stroller. With my back turned, he stands in it and a nice man helps me get him to sit.
- I tell clerk I’m going crazy and I can’t find the first form I filled out, MIA.
- She let’s me fill it out there while holding fussy one year old.

The moral of the story is, go to the post office on Saturday without the small children!
