Sunday Confessions Time

1. I DON'T HEAR.......WELL.

I don't really even know how to say this, but I am pretty sure everyone I have ever met can attest to the fact that I have a hearing problem. Case in point:

Joe: "Did you hear a kid at BYU-I got pulled over outside of Idaho Falls for speeding, and then they found he had an illegal amount of marijuana and a bomb."

*What Mary heard*: Did you hear a kid at BYU-I got pulled over for outside of Idaho Falls for speeding, and then they found he had an illegal amount of marijuana in a bomb?

Mary: Wow. *Confused. Trying to think it through.* So, was he going to light it and just get a bunch of people high?

Joe: What?

Mary: Oh, wait- or, can you use marijuana as a reactive chemical in a bomb, and was he going to use it to explode stuff?

Joe: Mary, what are you talking about?

Mary: You said he had marijuana in a bomb.

Joe: No. I said he had marijuana AND a bomb.

Mary: Oh. That makes a lot more sense. I was just imagining a giant ball of marijuana in the shape of a bomb.

2. No movie....today.

Not for me. For our primary kids at church. Because hey, 3-4 year olds are hard to handel. And we realized we could captivate them with movies on our phone/computer (Yes, we did start brining our computer for them). Because really, 50 minutes is a LONG time to teach 8 of these kids. No one can focus. So, the last like 10-15 min of class is devoted to SPIRITUAL movies. We at least keep it in line with church, thank you very much. 

But not today. Today a girl asked, "Are we going to watch a movie today?" Clearly, we may have over-done it. 

3. We have a German Shorthair Pointer

Okay, no surprise there. But we didn't take her hunting this year. I am pretty sure we are going against the laws of gravity or something (maybe just the laws of nature). A dog should be used for what it is meant for. I feel bad. She loves those birds, and I just know she dreams of carrying a dead one triumphantly in her mouth back to us one day. 

4. I am one of those people that when someone says, "Take this for free" I do not argue.

On friday when we went to get our donuts, we asked for a milk as well. The lady forgot to rang it up, and Joe noticed right as she handed us our receipt. She felt bad and just grabbed a milk for us and told us to take it anyways- but we said no, we didn't really need it and walked out, even though she insisted we took it. 

Me, I am the kinda person to take it. The person offered it, why fight? I guess it's sorta sleazy and cheap of me, but when something isn't mine, I feel like I can spend it like crazy (like someone offers to take me out to dinner). It's bad, I know. But it is the way it is.
