Sierra's First "Date"




Okay ...... well it really wasn't a date. I am SO not ready for that!!!! But, tonight our ward did an etiquette dinner. The kids were paired into "dates". They had a hilarious lady come in to teach them about manners, dating etiquette, etc. It was great. They were taught proper table manners. Sierra and I just laughed at how many table manners our family violates on a regular basis. Seriously, I am embarrassed at times. That's okay maybe it will keep her from going out on dates ( I doubt it!!) . I was lucky enough to be a waitress tonight. I didn't get a single tip, and I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself :) Actually, I think I was offered Skittles. I think everyone had a great time and learned what to do and what not to do on a date. Really, I am not looking forward to Sierra dating. Boys have way too many hormones , and not enough brain cells, sorry but its true. Matt has told her that he will answer the door in a pink tu-tu, combat boots and holding a shot gun. He has also told her that he has a lie detector and it will be used on her date before they can leave. There are also several other rules and regulations that must be followed ( I can't give them all away now. It will be fun to watch them squirm!!) Knowing Matt, this will happen :) Boys be afraid, be VERY afraid...........There is an article by W. Bruce Cameron called "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenaged Daughter." I love it, I am sure all of these rules apply as well. I added the link for those of you who forgot the rules. http://www.wbrucecameron.com/columns/8rules.htm

That is awesome. Can I be there for Sierra's first date, I wouldn't want to miss the pink tutu?!

That is so funny! I love reading your blog. Great story about Matt and the tutu! I am scared for those days.

Okay. I totally need to take a class about etiquette. I burp after meals, share someone else's drink if mine is gone and usually demand to have desseret first. Apparantly such activities are frowned upon.
