So in my cul-de-sac of 6 houses...three of my neighbors are Mormon...none of which knew me as Mormon. Anyway, one of them is so sugary nice (you know the type...), the husband gave my husband a BofM awhile back (which is sitting on the water heater gathering dust), and they always bring us over little goodie baskets, etc. I think they must have us targeted for project conversion or something... We fit the perfect mold...young, newlywed, seemingly well-off, and most importantly, white. They invited to their Stake's rendition of Handel's Messiah...and my husband wanted to go. So I did, secretly begrudgingly, praying my husband wouldn't hear that still smell voice...I felt like I had walked into the twilight zone! Everybody dressed nearly the same, no clapping after the performances...etc. I knew my husband was safe when he leaned over and said "for a place this big, their sound system sucks!". The other weird part of the evening was a couple I swore had to be polygamist newlyweds... A guy in about his mid- to late-forties, and a young girl who looked about twenty... Acting all young and in love, yet he also acted fatherly towards her ... Gross!
