so today i had to give a talk at the old folks place called wentworth it was quite the experience!
it all started off with michelle unice befor leaving was going to come up to me and tell me congrats on making it to state for basketball but she heard all of us talking about wentworth so she was like...hey steph, congrats on making it to Wentworth...i just stared at her and thought..what the?? then she started laughing and said...oh i ment state ha ha it made me laugh!!
so me marci kylie and casey jumped in the car and headed off to wentworth....we sat down and i heard the old ladies behind us chatting about how cold it was..and then they started commenting on mine and the rest of the laurels outfits..mind you it was snowing outside and marci didnt have a jacket..they were amazed saying very loudly..."she needs a jacket" "that girl is wearing short sleeves she is crazy" "she is a really tough girl going out in this weather!" "these girls are all so cute" (that one made my day) ha ha these old ladies say whatever they want as loud as they want and whenever they want!!
someone in the bishopric gets up and asks everyone if they can hear and this lady behind us yells i could hear if people werent talking and then she glares straight at me...it was scary but made me laugh..no worries i was quiet the rest of the time!! mind you..i wasnt even talking!! ha ha maybe a whisper to marci not a big deal ha ha
so then we start singing...ha ha that was fun! some lady was just humming and others were opera singing it was great! i tried not to laugh cause when i laugh its noticable cause my shoulders move up and down!!
during the sacrament some lady just yelled something i dont remember what but..it was super funny!
i get up to speak and i gave a talk on happiness..easy subject i gave the talk about two weeks ago in my own sacrament so..it was easy..i am not the best at english or grammar so i said more happier...and some lady (same lady that glared at me) was like...MORE HAPPIER? ha ha
so then some lady was complaining how she couldnt hear so the same lady that glared at me was like THAN GET A HEARING AIDE!! ha ha so funny!!
it was a great experience...as we were leaving some old guy in his jazzy comes rolling over to us and was like "back when i was in high school we never had such pretty ladies like you girls..."we all laughed and he was like "it must be the latterdays! ha ha i was like...this is the best pickup line ever ha ha...then he started whipping out jokes ha ha my favorite one was he started off by saying "ya know how geese fly in a v shape? and i was like YA! and he said "ya know how one side is longer than the other? and i was like ya ha ha...and he was like "how does that happen?" i was like you tell me! and he was like "no you tell me" and i was like i have no idea...he was like " cause one side has more birds than the other ha ha" best joke ever!! ha ha he was so charming ha ha i could have just taken him home with me ha ha!!
it was a great experience and i just love old people they are so interesting ha ha!! and way funny!! i was very happy to go even tho at the beginning i didnt want to!

Katie and I used to go to the old folks home for a month once a quarter or so. She was in charge of the "organ" and I led the music. You have to love old people. I either want to be the old person that gets after everyone else (the glaring lady) or the jokester at the end! I am glad you had fun ... (and that you blogged about it!)
