Moment of Truth

So... I'm sitting at my desk at work, when the phone rings. The following is the conversation that followed:



KP: This is Kristen

Guy on Phone (G): This is so-and-so calling about your Moment of Truth

KP: My what???

G: Your Moment of Truth, you know, your M.O.T.

KP: Huh?

G: We need to schedule your appointment

KP: I think you have the wrong number

G: No, this is Kristen, right?

KP: Well, yes, but I have NO idea what you are talking about

G: The Moment of Truth, you know, your annual car check-up

KP: OH! I got a letter about that (in Dutch!)



And the conversation progressed... basically, it's just annual emissions testing for your car, just like we had back at home... however, I'm thinking "What the hell is this guy talking about?". Long story short, appointment is scheduled for a few weeks from now. I will never forget this Moment of Truth. :)



Just a fun little vignette into life abroad... :)
