I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

My Mormon Mother Report Card
My Mormon Parent report card results---Big Fat F.
How does one test this?
Well by random chance like . .
When you are at the Baptism preview (the night that the Primary has with all of the 7 year old kids who will turn 8 and be baptized--to get the details on who what where when etc).
As I was saying, . . .
When you are at the Baptism Preview sitting in the FRONT row, and while the Bishop is informing kids on what they will be asked in their interview, asks your daughter, "Who is the Prophet?"
and she
points her arm straight out toward the Bishop and says:
"YOU?"
That's how you know.
For my friends who aren't Mormon, the answer is President Thomas S. Monson.

That is hilarious. But it was cute, you have to admit. You totally pulled off the promises question, though. I was sitting back there racking my brain, not sure what promises they were talking about.
I'm still sad about your bowls. I have some (10) of my favorites up on a ledge in my kitchen and I've been having nightmares about it crashing to the ground ever since I saw yours in pieces.
I guess she missed that primary lesson. Better luck with the next kid. That is why we had six. If you mess up with one you can just move on to the next.
P.S. I would love to be a follower of your uncoolness but can't find a place to join. Thanks for your help with that.
awesome! I don't even think our ward has one of those.....and I am still at odds with you know who about the entire baptism thing. I don't even know if it's going to happen for my little man or not. totally bummed!
NICE parenting moment. ;) hahaa!!
I'm not mormon but even I know that one. hahaha!! Funny Jill.
You've got to love Annabelle, I know I do! If that speaks for your parenting skills where does that leave her Primary teacher. I might as well hang up my chalk and eraser!
I'm ashamed to call you my friend.
