This Aint No Womens Barbecue


Today my roomates and I had planned to interview one of the guy's apartments in our ward for ward prayer spotlight. We had set up an appointment with one of the members of the apartment, and so we set off to find out their deepest darkest secrets. However, we also saw a flyer earlier that day for an Elder's Quorum Barbecue, which had the title of this post at the bottom. The time of the barbecue also conflicted with the time we had planned to meet with the apartment, but we hoped the guys had remembered our appointment. We got there, knocked on their door, and then in the stairway above us, we hear several male voices asking, "Can we help you?" Some of the guys in our ward were barbecuing above us with little propane dealies, making shiskabobs. Then the hilarity began. We walked up the stairs asking where the guys form the apartment we were going to interview were, and some of them were at the barbecue. Imagine that. And then, they began offering us food, to make us some themselves. They wouldn't hardly let us leave without some. And then we questioned them about the last line of their flyer, about it not being a women's barbecue, and they kind of implied that it would not be your average cook-out of burgers and hot dogs, but I don't know how that makes it a women's barbecue. The whole time there, I was asking myself, "What am I doing at the Elder's Quorum Party?" It was crazy hilarity the whole time. We were there for about a half of an hour, but it was tons of fun. I guess we got to know the guys better, if nothing else.
