Why???

  • Why do youth speakers start every talk with "for those of you who don't know me, my name is..." when their name was just announced and it's also listed in the bulletin?
  • Why do schools get a late start because of snow and ice but businesses don't?
  • Why do actresses feel the need to pose in nothing but a tie on a magazine cover?
  • Why do treats taste even better at Christmas time?
  • Why is Saturday Night Live so boring and unwatchable?
  • Why can't I download that "Make me a wish" song from the car commercial where the shoes fall from the sky?
  • Why do TV weather people jump around to different networks all the time?
  • Why can't I come up with a gift idea for my boss?

Wait, you don't normally pose for grocery store shoppers every where in only a tie? How odd. . . .:)

Such complex questions! I am not sure I can handle it! :) Especially the one about the tie.. I just don't understand. SEEKING PUBLICITY is all I can think of. I think she RELISHES getting all of that POOR JEN attention.

these are great questions. Unfortunately it isn't just the youth speakers who start that way in our ward. I also don't like the "We'd like to welcome you to Hazeldale ward Sacrament meeting." You don't need to say you'd like to do it. Just do it. What's wrong with "welcome to Hazeldale ward Sac. mtg." Seriously.

I agree with Bridget! Didn't both our adult speakers do it on Sunday? I also like her point on "we'd like to welcome you ..."

And I really don't know why she posed in a tie. It makes her look more pathetic.

Well, I'm just grateful people are at church! ;) Jeanellie, I was thinking about why can't you have late start for work? I totally agree with you (as I sit here fully ready to go to seminary and it was cancelled...sigh). Be careful today!
