I thought of a funny story that happened a few weeks ago and I thought I’d share. You know those moments where you think you’re cool and someone lets you know very clearly that you’re not. Well that’s what happened.
I am the Miamaids advisor in Young Womens. For one of our combined activities I had to drive the young women around to ward members houses to deliver Christmas cards. I had the David Cook CD in my car and I smiled as I envisioned the girls thinking and also commenting about how young and hip I was. (I was born for Young Women’s! haha)
I picked up the girls and as we headed for the car I casually 🙂 mentioned that I had the David Cook CD in my car and I hoped they liked it. The girls instantly moaned and groaned. They made several comments about how they didn’t like him at ALL. I was shocked! I thought all teenage girls watched and loved American Idol. Where had I gone wrong?
A few minutes later the girls started talking about David Archuleta. Then the light bulb went on. I asked, “Do you guys NOT like David Cook because you like David Archuleta?” They all looked at me like Duhhh.
I had blown it. I had the wrong Idol’s CD; the old people Idol. My bad!
Just as a disclaimer I loved both David’s. 🙂
That is hilarious! I actually wasn’t that crazy about David Archuleta (even though I know I’m supposed to be because he’s LDS and from Utah).
We are totally non hip- we don’t even watch American Idol- although you hear enough to know who they all are. Funny story, though.
Hilarious!!
That is so funny!! We realized we were old when we went on a date this past Friday night and were home by 8:45, sad, we had nothing else to do!! We always miss our girls too much to be gone for too long! I taught YW basketball and the beehives two years back and just being around them I felt so old and thought “did I act like this when I was their age”, and yes, I totally did act like them, sad. Also, we’ve been married 4 YEARS, weird. I’m glad you like the music on my blog, you’re still “hip” to me if you like my music!
