i can't help but share this story.

picture this:

i'm teaching sunday school

talking about moses and his israelite peeps wandering the desert for 40 years

manna from heaven

murmuring

you've gotta rely on your guide

yada yada

i compare the sitch to my trip to mexico

you know...

the one i took with

my dad

my boss

and the boy who was kissing me at the time

sitting in the room is:

the boy who used to kiss me

and a bunch of people who kind of, sort of know that we used to kiss

but only kind of sort of

the bishop's wife raises her hand and says
"wait, can you tell me... what's going on between you two. what's the nature of your relationship? i mean, you're not brother and sister, so..."

and then silence.

long enough for everyone in the room to feel the awkwardness

but short enough to stare at the other half of the sitch and make him answer

"we're friends" he says

glad we could clear that up... in front of all our peers

because, to be honest, i wasn't sure.
