Some Things Will Never Change

Last week we had all of the workers in the baptistry over for a BBQ. One of the couples is headed on a mission and another had to be done since they just had their first baby. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and a LOT more relaxed than the Christmas party. I don't know if it was because it was outside, or the games or what but we had a great time and I think everyone else did too. I was over talking to the couple going on a mission when suddenly, I couldn't tell you how, they started talking about this cute girl that used to be in their old ward and how she had given the wife a hug but not him and how he got offended by it. Well offended might not be the right word, but lets say he really, really wished she would have hugged him too. The wife is telling the story and he leans over to me and say, "Now this girl is gorgeous, no I mean this girl is drop dead gorgeous, she is quite the looker." I was shocked at first I thought oh maybe she's a teenager, but then when I asked how old he says, "oh she's 45, old enough to be my daughter." By this point I am laughing so hard. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Here is a man that has been in bishoprics, a stake president, served down at the MTC and now about to go on a mission and he and his wife are laughing about how cute this "girl" is and how upset he was that she didn't give him a hug. Well I guess he called her up and asked her to come to the farewell because he was sure he could get one there.

That's not all by this time tears are streaming down my face, I am in shock at what I am hearing these older couples talk about (there are now 4 couples sitting around us) and then they start talking about going to the Ute stampede in Nephi and watching all the "bathing beauties" the new the best places to watch the parade (I'm guessing for the best lighting :). They even new the dates and one guy asked for a reminder phone call Atlanta, where they are going to be serving.

But it was all topped off when our mission couple started talking about how his father in law told him one day that if he ever stopped looking at girls that would mean he was dead or blind and if he wasn't blind and had stopped than to just start sprinkling dirt on him to bury him cause life wouldn't be worth living if he couldn't turn his head and look at a pretty girl.

Lets just say I was in shock!!! I was laughing hard!!! And yes on Sunday I had to teach about Elder Hollands conference talk all on Pornography. What can you say but as men get older some thing will never change, for some reason I thought they Might?!
