Make a note

Talking about post

-----

Mom: But anyway I'm going to send this parcel by registered mail.


Boy: Registered mail, good idea! What's that?


Mom: Well, to register something means you make a note that you've sent it.


Boy: Oh, how do you do that?


Mom: Well, to show that they received your parcel, the post office

gives you a registration receipt like this. And you write your name on

the receipt and the destination that's where you're sending the parcel

and the date, and then the post office will write a number on your parcel

and the same number on the receipt.
