Being form Utah we always are asked "are you Monmon?" Are there other states that always get the same questions? I'm sure there must be. Like if you are from Washington do they ask about rain or volcanoes? While Scott was in Alabama he was asked 3 questions. 1. Are you Mormon? 2. Do you know Donny and Marie or the Osmond's? and 3. How many wives do you have? It made him happy to talk about all 3. 1. Yes I am. 2. No I don't- but I am a friends with Justin Osmond a nephew to Donny and Marie. 3. One wife is plenty. The Osmond family is very popular in the south. I like that they think all us Mormons know each other- that could be a little tricky with over 12 million. There are less and less in Utah, in fact some areas are less than 1/2. Which when I was growing up it felt 100%. As for asking do we know so and so I do the same thing when I hear someone is from a certain place. "Oh do you know so and so--" They smile and say "No, Texas is a big place". I feel foolish and smile back. At the same time I am often amazed at how like cute Kelsie said years ago "It is a small world after all!" It is that whole 7 degrees of separation thing. I wonder if it is more like 4 degrees. Or maybe 3 questions of separation.He had a great time there. High Cotton is spoiling him. They are very generous and fun, he is having a great time. He got a little welcome party, gift cards, lap top, business cards and wonderful BBQ.
