Anyway, if that instance doesn't ring a bell, go look back a couple blog posts. :) Why am I bringing this up you wonder? Well, last night after Family Home Evening, I went running with Kacee, and then got back finished up my homework and was ready to go take a shower and go to bed when Vanessa comes in and announces that our real home teachers have arrived. It's only 10:00 at this point, and you have to understand here at BYU I, no one is in bed by ten... and I mean no one! So really 10 and 11 o'clock are normal visiting hours.
I walk out of my room, go sit down on the couch and say hello to our real home teachers. They looked vaguely familiar, but I attributed it to the fact that I'd probably seen them in church on Sunday... or something like that. I mean, BYU campus is only so big right? :) As my roommates start to congregate towards the living room, Vanessa and I proceed to tell our home teachers the hilarious story about how some guys showed up professing to be our home teachers just a few night previous! We finish the story, chuckling at the irony of it all, and then wait for Anise to sit down so that our home teachers can give us their message.
Anise looks them up and down and then says quite boldly: "I know you guys! You've been here before!!!"
Our home teachers look at each other, obvious surprise written across their faces.
"Anise, they're in our ward, of course you've seen them before!" I laugh, rolling my eyes in a very knowing manner.
"No, they've definitely been here before, they came over the first time pretending to our home teachers! This one is Travis and this one is named Steve!" Anise is insistent!
"You met them at church on Sunday!" I declare.
"No, they were at our house, and we had the backflip competition!"
Then I give them a closer look, and realize Anise is right!!!! These are the same guys who came over a few nights previous, pretending to be our Home teachers and I fell for it.... again!!!!
When our real home teachers actually show up, we probably won't be so trusting! I can totally see an interrogation happening in our living room! We'll ask them the name of our bishop, what ward we're in, the stake we're in, who gave a talk on Sunday, what was the Sacrament hymn, who's the ward organist! And if they get one question wrong it's OVER!!!!! They're impostors!!!! Say goodbye to the trusting girls in 306! Experience has left us bitter and cynical!
Fool us once, shame on you!!!
Fool us twice....
...well, shame on us, but we won't trust you ever again, so your loss! :)
Though, I must confess, our fake home teachers are really good fake home teachers! :) They came over today and helped us clean the apartment for cleaning checks, so at least they take their fake job seriously. :)
~Keep Smiling~ :)
