Yesterday I went to a baptism of a kid in our ward. (I’m in the Primary Presidency) So I get the opportunity to speak in public when emotions are high and the spirit is strong. I love that feeling. I always try to make the best of it and say really important things.
Like “The holy ghost will comfort you when you get sad. Boys get sad too just like girls. Okay actually girls get sadder… but the holy ghost will make you feel happy when you are sad okay?”
So at the baptism I had the pleasure of sitting next to Liz Jaggi. I like to use Liz Jaggi’s full name so that when people google her they will find my blog. It makes Liz Jaggi feel good. I think. So L.J. gave me the church giggles. I don’t know how she did it. But I couldn’t stop laughing inside and Randy Rupp was talking about spiritual things and I was laughing so hard (inside) that tears streamed out from the corners of my eyes. So anyway when all was said and done I went to walmart.
at walmart I bought a boat load of candy for a party. I got up to the cash register and the guy who was the cashier started ringing up the candy and he looked at me and said real serious like
“Okay who’s A$$ do you want me to kick?”
and I was like “Huh?”
So he pointed at all the candy and said “Well with all this candy and you’ve been crying.”
So I reach up and touch my eyes and look at my hands and yep all this mascara is all over my fingers.
“Oh no… I was at a baptism and my friend was making me laugh really hard”
Which sounded bad anyway. Who laughs at a baptism? Oh right. Me.
anyway I know that if someone ever does make me cry I now know who to hire to kick some bootay that would *hopefully* not trace back to me. I could probably pay him in big league gum, a wolf tshirt, and a remote control car.

I hate getting the giggles at church. Especially during the prayer.
You have to admit, that was kind of sweet! He has a good sense of chivalry, right?

That is funny. Me and my girlfriend in Utah would always end up laughing at “inappropriate” times or things. It is a sickness between us.
you are my kind of girl.

Church giggles are the BEST and Worst! They simply can’t be stopped. once our bishop announced that there was a wasp nest on the east side of the building, so don’t go there. My friend and I started laughing over that, and imagining different people in the ward not heading the bishop’s advice (because they never did, so why would they start now?) and we eventually had to leave because the giggling was too out of control.

Oh how I’ve missed reading your blog…I haven’t blogged or checked anyone else’s for a long time. I loved that story. And I too hate church giggles…the worst one for me ever? At my Grandpa Nelson’s funeral, Jeff, Scott, Jen and I were singing in a musical number with all of the cousins and we started giggling about something stupid and couldn’t stop. My poor mom was mortified. Love ya Shell.
