This past Sunday, in a Rexburg ward, the sister in charge of the ward bulletin photoshopped a picture of her baby’s face onto baby Jesus. She superimposed her child’s face over the Christ child’s face and put it on the ward bulletin. I cried. I cried when I heard this, because it’s basically the funniest [...]

Um, ew. Oh lord am I tired of princess culture. You are not a princess. You are not a “daughter of a King.” Unless you actually are, in which case rock on. You know what my idea of a castle is? OMFG I so want to be handcuffed to that man. Oh, and [...]
Have you guys seen this?! The Mormon capacity for inadvertent hilarity never ceases to amaze me. The burning question is whyyyyyy?! Why does a site for Mormons need a banner with young white people pretending to fly? And that trumpet! I die! It’s almost– almost– as amazing as this: Almost. If you would like to [...]
Read this first, then the following, which is a dispatch from an alternate universe: Dear Internets, Our daughter came home from college last year and told us that she was joining the Mormon church. Considering that she was raised Catholic and had always been a good Catholic, you can imagine our shock. No one can [...]
If you randomly come across a blog called “Being A Mother Who Knows”, you might click on it thinking “This’ll be a hoot.” DON’T DO IT. Seriously. It won’t be a hoot. It will be offensive and annoying and everything that’s wrong with the world. And you’ll still be stewing over the ridiculous, offensive things [...]
Yesterday, in honor of Pioneer Day (and yes, I think that’s a real holiday, and yes, I am proud of my pioneer ancestry, and if that bothers you I suggest you skip this post), I decided to make like my ancestors and go to church. Stop judging me. I can feel it via the Interwebs. [...]
The other day I was thinking about my grandfather, and wondering if he ever felt left out growing up in Salt Lake City because of his lack of pioneer heritage. His parents left England and moved to Utah before he was born. He wasn’t related to Mormon royalty. His grandparents didn’t walk across the plains. [...]
There was only one boy at BYU who really, truly liked me. I can’t remember his name, which is fine, since everybody’s name is changed on here to protect the innocent. (Me. I’m “the innocent.”) We’ll call him Milton. He looked like a Milton. As part of our “Quest for Booty“, my roommate Mandy and [...]
Admittedly, there was a time when I loved stake dances. They were fun when I was a Mia Maid. I had a boyfriend who was not really my boyfriend because we weren’t sixteen. He lived across town, so the only time we got to see each other was at the stake dances. Once a month, [...]
Stake dances mean stake dance rules, the main rule being: NO TOUCHY! Did anybody else’s stakes have dance cards? The stake across town had these little dance cards with a plethora of rules printed on them in teeny, tiny print. (Stuff like “Keep both feet on the ground at all times.” What? How am I [...]
