It is interesting that some people in this world have absolutely no tact. You try to be nice and everything that they say comes out mean and tactless. Today was the primary program so I put on a cute outfit and had to babysit the primary during sacrament meeting. It is not an easy task when half of your class has special needs with behavioral problems. It was fun for sure.
I saw a lady from the old-folks-home that we used to do sacrament meeting at and I decided to say hello. I knew that she was a crotchety old lady so I knew that the conversation wouldn't be too good, but I am a nice person.
I asked her how she was doing and she burdened me with her bouts of sickness and all these things that were too much information and I just told her that I hoped that She would get better. The next part of the conversation I never expected to happen. Her first question for me was "Are you pregnant?" I have to say that I chose my clothing well and had no more of a pooch than I usually have. I told her no and I didn't care about that question, but the next one holy cow!! She said "Oh so you have just been gaining weight?" !!! Wow...I can hardly believe it. The first one showed little tact but the second one...NO tact. First of all I have been loosing weight for the last 6 months. I think that I am starting to look pretty good, but heck if I look pregnant I will just have to kick up the effort. I was even wearing black which is the most forgiving color. Why do people say things like that? I am just so shocked that she felt it good to say something like that. Anyway...
The primary program was awesome. All the kids were good and only a few didn't know their lines. It was different than I am used to because they didn't do it by class and several people were in more than one group which made it that much worse so I am just not sure. We were right on time limit...well maybe a minute or two over time but it was successful so I am happy. I think that I have to do sharing time next week and I am not too excited about that, but it is fine.

Just remember, consider the source, and keep being nice inspite of what others may say or do. I'm glad the program was a success. I really enjoyed the one in our ward.
