Random thoughts from our field trip to the Shakespeare Festival:
1. Spending 36 consecutive hours with 16 teenagers is nothing short of insane, and I mean that from the depths of my soul. On the other hand, it is a welcome break from chasing Devon everywhere.
2. One of the moms was asking a local today about various aspects of the festival when she blurted out, “So, are you ALL Mormons here? Because everything is awfully clean.” I thought I would die right there on the spot. She later confided that she actually held back from asking where the polygomists were hiding their wives.
3. The girl that Loren fancies in his class? She’s two-timing him with one of the other boys. She just likes to string him along. The girls told me ALL about it during the seven hour car ride.
4. I am glad that I am not a polygomist Mormon because if I have to eat many more meals with 16 kids? I’ll stuff them all in plastic trash bags.
5. I am looking forward to going home and feeling Devon’s ever sticky fingers wrapped around my neck and Cassidy’s scrawny arms around my hips.
6. Since Loren was being aloof I decided to take pictures of statues, as evidenced below:
Girls will tell you EVERYTHING. I never really liked teenagers even when I was one.
It wasn’t until I was in my early 20s and worked at a restaurant with several that I started liking them. A lot. Preferable to preschoolers in most every way.
Then again, I don’t live with one.
Ummm, the polygamists don’t hide their wives in Southern Utah. Salt Lake City, maybe. Cedar City, nope.
I’d be okay with polygamy if I could have a few wives to help me with my house and kids. I’m so serious.
(That was me, not being anonymous, but none of the name and email fields loaded the first time.)
