Religious Tolerance

"Mom, when I'm a freshman can I go to the prom if I get asked?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Ask your father what senior boys want. That's why."

"What about when I'm a sophomore?"

"No."

*sigh*

"Well, what if he's Mormon?"

"Yes."

Nice! Now you'll just have to be on the look-out for boys who are only pretending to be Mormon.

We've made a solemn vow: no dating. Ever. Or until 17. That's final.

Hubby was in the Army with a few Mormons. He would echo your sentiments because he maintains they were the only virgins in the entire military!

That's a prom date I can get behind. She's a clever one.

Memarie Lane said...

LOL! My mom flipped out when my niece (16) became a Mormon. I explained to her that however she may feel about the religion, she would be much safer going through her high school years as a Mormon than she would as a Wiccan, which is what she was raised as.

Now THERE'S a good place to draw a line.

As a Mormon, I find this hilarious! And very true. Smart daughter.

---sigh-- can I heart your blog any more than I do already? Oh, and I like taut,pore-less and youthful skin, so can I comment lots of times?

It's been my experience that the "religious" boys can be worse than the bad boys... I'm jus' sayin.

Hahahaha! A nice Mormon boy took my little sister to their senior prom. Now that I think about it, maybe that's why she was allowed to go? LOL!

Lawyer Mama said...

Dude, if I'd known that trick half of my boyfriends would have been Mormon!
