I can't help it! Sometimes things just spill out of my mouth, and it is not my fault...It is like having a kid, and you have no idea what they are going to say next. But, it is me! And I should be able to control that, but no...this is what I have to do:
I am the Young Single Adult rep in my ward. (I'm pretty sure they put me in there for two reasons 1. Because I am just about the only female that age in my ward and 2. So I would actually start going.) Well...it just so happens that we are lacking females in the stake, so at one FHE, as we were all sitting around a table getting ready to play Apples to Apples...I realized I was the only girl with 8 guys...EIGHT guys, and not of that matters because I love Tate. How stinky is that? Being in a room full of guys, and only wanting one, that just so happens to be across the world? So, of course, I have to spurt out the first thing that comes to my mind "You guys all need to get girlfriends." Ouch! Complete and total silence...AWKWARD!!! How was I supposed to know thats a sore spot for guys on the market?? So, I did what any smart person would do...regained my dignity by beating them all into the ground at Apples to Apples, and left as soon as I could, hoping that my tires had not been slashed.
Now this story, I decided to take on a whole group of homies....Okay okay okay, it is not as dramatic as that, but it sounds good does it not? Well, it was the night of NEW MOON (Awesome movie btw) and my mom decided that we needed to go grocery shopping afterwards...um, some of us do need beauty sleep mother, me more than others! It is not a pretty sight if I don't...Anywho, Hannah and I were walking past the sporting goods section, when we passed a group of homies. This is what we heard "Ya, those (well I can't say what they said but it started with a d and ended with an n) Mormons..." But, they didn't get to finish what they were saying because we stopped right in front of them, and I said "I'm a Mormon!" with the biggest cheeseburger smile I could possible muster...Once again...silence and stares. And once again, I did what any smart person would do...looked the beast in the eye...then smiled "Um, ya" and walked of quickly...
....My mouth has gotten me pretty good at walking. Maybe it will now teach my rear how to get in shape...hhhmmm I think I'll work on that.
