Babies and Church

Two things I'm not a fan of.

First off, Church.
Not a fan. I'm not against the LDS Church. I just don't necessarily agree with everything they teach. I agree with most of it...just not everything. But that's not the reason I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of Church because it's boring.
I go out of my mind, and there's only a certain amount of times you can count the ceiling tiles.
I would like it better if we were listening to talks prepared by professionals, or lessons that someone had given more thought to rather than hurriedly jotting something down Saturday evening.
If we had lessons taught by scholars, people who study this stuff on purpose. People who know about the Church and it's history instead of just people who felt really good about what she read in her daily scripture read... I'm just sick of the same thing week after week. And this is my major motivation to stay home and watch a movie, sleep in or pick up that extra shift at work.

And Secondly, Babies.
Babies are gross, and loud.
That's mostly it, the worst part is when someone else thinks you need to care.
As I walk into my house the last thing I actually want is for someone to run up to me and shout " Look a baby!!" and then dump it in my arms.
It is my strong belief that babies are ugly.
Everyone knows this. The only people who think babies are cute are the parents...and everyone who lies to them so they don't hurt their feelings.

All in all, Babies and Church are two things that I try my hardest, every day of my life, to avoid.
So today, I'm not going to Church to see the Baby. All today means is that instead of having to avoid two separate things...I can ignore them both at the same time.
