Somewhere in the US a woman seeking to rent a home came up against a local “rule” where an application involving more than two children led to an expensive and time consuming overlay of bureaucracy.

“Wendy” being a rather obedient but somewhat resourceful lady told Hubby to take their five sons for a Picnic at the local Lawn Cemetery.

Then Wendy and their two daughters went downtown to the Agency and made application to become a renter for a home. Evidently the Estate agency had access to official information that had Wendy as the Mother of seven children and the interviewer asked the whereabouts of husband and the five children?
To which Wendy with all her authority and composure replied “Oh they are in the “Cemetery”?
