(dedicated to Mel to show her that I don't care what she says or wears....not too many things you can do to shock me!)
Ross's cousin had a baby. Their family was coming into town and he has 10 siblings, and their spouses and their kids...parents, grandparents and that's just on one side of the family, she had 5 siblings & parents & family & kids & stuff - so they decided to try to do the baby blessing at MY house - it was a big open space and they wouldn't kick all the "regular" Church goers out of the chapel by filling it w/ their own family (how annoying is that when your "regular" bench is occupied by someone else - and you have to sit back in the hard metal chairs? dang!)
SO - we had 70 plus people in my house for a baby blessing - I was in charge of the food - (because it wasn't enough that I had to clean the house in preparation of it being totally and utterly destroyed --- but I digress....) So we said an opening prayer (our bishop, their bishopric & the SP were all present at my house for the joyous occasion - as well as all the family members, etc) we had a quick 30 second scripture quote thing - then we had the baby blessing and a closing prayer - so in a 3 minute window we had 3 blessings -- one to bless the blessing, one to bless the baby and one to bless the house & refreshments....
Not 30 seconds later, I pulled the lasagna out of the oven and burn the HELL out of my arm - everyone's being reverent - looking at the sweet baby - I have two sisters in law in my kitchen helping me w/ the food preparations - and as I touch the oven door w/ my forearm, I yelled (no not a quiet thing - this was a shock a burn - OUCH) "Oh shit!" (slight pause for effect) "dammit that hurt" And turned around to see that I had caught everyones attention in the room - So I did what any true blue blooded mormon girl in my situation would have done - I crossed myself by way of penance and high fived my SIL - then proceeded to announce that it was a good thing the food was just blessed...but next time maybe they could bless the hands that had prepared it?
