I-Pod Faux Pas

In College, at BYU  I would have never passed as a Molly. Not even close. There use to be an actual soap box in center court. I got on it once and they took it down the next day. I never saw that soapbox again.
One time I was taking extra credit for my Psych class and I walked into a group session and we were suppose to tell each other what our first opinion of them was and everyone thought I was listening to hard rock on my walkman. They were shocked when the cassette tape I pulled out was Neil Diamond and the song I was listening to was “Forever in Blue Jeans.” It sure made me question my appearance. What made my blue jeans say “hard rocker? ” I’ve tried to dress better since then. The day after I went to DI and found myself some molly Mormon dresses with pretty lace collars and puffy sleeves and I wore them to church. Then, as I got older, I exchanged the dresses for a less drastic way to show my personality and I learned to appreciate the fact that I do like to rock and roll, that is just part of who I am. And there is no law against it. Until…
Fast forward years later and we are invited to chaperon a homecoming dance in our small Mormon town. My DH packed my I-Pod and when the DJ didn’t show up he offered it up to the nice man hooking up the equipment (a teacher at the high school and the Scout Master in our ward) just to help get the party started, which was fine at first then I remembered what was on my play list….yea…that bad, so bad, I can’t even mention them online for fear that some unsuspecting Molly would actually listen to the lyrics and it would hurt her sensitive ears. hmmm I was really missing Neil Diamond right about then. In my defense, I did have a some hymns and uplifting songs on there but alas, that was over a year ago, and we haven’t been asked to chaperon a dance again…always something to work on. But it may take some time before I delete some of my favorites no matter what the ten cow wives would say about them.
