An Embarassing Moment

I'm not exactly sure why I desire to share an embarassing moment with my friends and family who read my blog, but I just had this flashback memory and I couldn't stop laughing at myself. I think I'm getting old. Getting old is when you can look back on your embarassing moments and think that they're so silly that you want to write about them on your blog :)

When I was in High School I had a boyfriend who went into the MTC. Well, in those days, the swooning females used to go and make big chalk murals on the sidewalk across the street from the MTC. The idea was that the super cute missionaries would come out of the MTC, cross the street, see their name and/or some rediculous sentiments written on the sidewalk, and renew their vows of poverty, chastity and eternal loyalty to swooning female on the spot. I'm still fairly sure that it worked 103% of the time. However, in order for said missionaries to actually glimpse their chalk devotional, swooning females had to NOT GET CAUGHT drawing their mural. Me and Jess (my loyal friend and partner in crime) totally got caught :) A kindly old man from the MTC came out with water and a big scrubby brush and made us scrub the entire sidewalk clean. He said that the chalk got tracked into the temple. (Mortification started right about HERE.) Anywho - Jess stood by me and we got that sidewalk chalk-free while cute missionaries walked by us on their way to the temple, giggling behind their hands, etc. It was SOOOOOO embarassing. Wow. My stomach is actually clenched up just thinking about it.

And all for nothing! My real missionary (Joey, obviously) was probably on his way home from his mission right about this time. Too funny how life works out.

Grace and Jane picked the songs for our playlist today :) I think it's quite hilarious how "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam" sounds like a polka...
