Okay, so evidently
I am going to talk about it:
- The children's choir that sang this afternoon was hilarious. They blushed and smirked anytime they realized they were on camera, and then usually forgot the words to the song they were singing. At one point, watchers counted 14 kids sleeping up in the choir seats. Right on the front row, one boy actually slept through a choir song - when his neighbor on the right sat down he poked the sleeper until he jerked awake, then explained in a stage whisper that he had missed an entire musical number. Those who had been following the saga then saw the sleeper clap his hands over his face and shake his head. SOMEBODY's mom will be having words.
- A woman came to the desk asking for "extra" tickets (seriously, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that request...) and when I said no she made some kind of weird crack that was evidently supposed to be a joke. I didn't get it, and in response to my blank look she snapped that "people here have no sense of humor". I tried to explain that Conference tickets are issued to all Stake Presidents in the United States, and she replied that she was from Georgia. I tried again, and stated that the only remaining tickets were reserved for International Visitors. She went stone-faced, then declared that we were practicing "class distinction". I... uh... OK. She repeated this apparently distasteful idea forcefully, then stormed away; THEN stalked back, gave me one last glare through the window, and stumped away in a huff. I don't even know.
- After being told that if he went to the stand-by line there was every chance he would get into the Priesthood session, a certain gentleman asked, "I have to WALK ACROSS THE STREET?!?" He refused, adding, "I'm starting to go inactive now."
