After not going to FHE, and then going to FHE, and playing in the sprinklers instead of listening to the lesson, and then ignoring my friends all the way home, I finally reached the safety and loveliness of my own home. I ate the happy, happy chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (oh heaven), and then decided I needed some real dinner (thank you, ward, for having sandwiches today). So I cut some potatoes, covered them with stuff, put them in the oven, and went off to take a shower.
Half an hour later, the potatoes were done. Being in a joking mood (why do I feel so good after ignoring my friends? This is a problem...), I listened to the steam escaping from the potatoes and told my mother, "They're screaming, mother! They're screaming!"
My poor, dear, sweet, and, at the time, very tired sister Siri got a very sad look on her face. "They're... screaming?"
Instantly I realized my mistake. "No, Siri! No! It's just the steam. I promise. They aren't screaming; they aren't alive."
Unfortunately, the damage was done. She was "sad" and "scared" (her words) for the rest of the night. Or until she fell asleep about half an hour ago.
Blast! I'll have to carry her down to my room as soon as Perry Mason is over...
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the potatoes are delicious.

Poor Siri! That's so sad and traumatic.
And...Pres Monson LOVES Perry Mason. He watches it nearly every night. He's so funny about it, too. I have never seen it myself.
Also, I hear you're "engaged"?
I very much love Perry Mason. He is the coolest lawyer around.
Well, which engagement are you talking about? That topic could be a post...
She actually hasn't said yes to the proposal, so thus she isn't engaged.
no it isn't good that you completely ignored me. i was quite upset!
