I am grateful for the suggestion from CoJ and highly recommend hosting one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Says Peach on <a href=\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/2024\/12\/05\/fun-things-brooklyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 fun things<\/a>: \u201cI was recently at the DMV, and it was an unexpectedly beautiful place because of how a mix of people were there together, helping each other. My 15-year-old was getting her learner\u2019s permit, and when the employee asked for her hair color, my daughter looked to me for confirmation before answering. When she stepped into the photo line, the employee leaned over and told me one of the things she finds fascinating about the job is that *every* teenager does that! Such a basic question about themselves, but they look to their parent first. It\u2019s a moment that makes them look like their tiny, young selves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Photo by Laura Stolfi\/Stocksy.)<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: If you buy something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission or have a sponsored relationship with the brand, at no cost to you.
