Mutual may be a good socializing event for most, however I find myself hating to talk to people, if I really wanted to talk to you, I would come to and talk to you. Now this is not the case for everyone, just the majority of the people in my ward. Now lets say, theoretically, you are 17 years old and live in the Alpine/Highland area. If you and your mom are yet to receive your Eagle scout award you may as well were a shirt that says, “Tell me to get my eagle, I don’t hear it enough”. Seriously, if you plan to be well associated with people in my area there are some essentials.
1. This is just for male occupants, your Eagle Scout Award.
This is often seen as a display of your character. Don’t get me wrong, I think receiving this award can and should prove that you are a dedicated individual. However, what the spectator doesn’t see is the “eagle scout” being woken up at 6:30 am on a cool October morning to the sound of theirs mothers voice yelling down the hallway, “WAKE UP SON, YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE TO POW- WOW!!!” To the new boy scout, this may be a sign to get up and going, however, to the well trained matured scout, this is a sign to get out of bed, lock your door, turn off your lights, get back under the warm covers and bury your head under many pillows so your mothers heckling doesn’t awake you again.
Unfortunately this tactic only works for so long. The ever-wise parent soon realizes that they have control of your life. With all privileges on the line your bed doesn’t seem to be as comforting. Rolling out of bed, you still have one thing to look forward to, the warm shower, you walk into the bathroom and turn it on to full heat. This comforting sound only lasts a bit as it is overcome by the voice of your mother, “What are you doing?!!?!” she asks with a impatient tone. “Showering!!!” the scout replies. “You don’t have time!!!” Angered the scout shuts off the shower and staggers up the stairs. Later, as the scout is on the drive down to pow-wow, the scout fully awakens only to realize the clothes their mother gave them are indeed the full scout uniform. There are three options here.
i. Un-tuck the scout uniform in hopes to show other scouts you are “rebellious”.
ii. Search frantically the entire car for a sweatshirt to cover the embarrassing award of tenderfoot.
iii. (This is the most recommended way to avoid pow-wow but must be done quickly.) Reach for the door handle, praying that it is not on child-lock, (a well exposed mother should have child-lock already on for pre-assumption of this event) and leap out of the car.

Please don't end up like this, just jump out of the car, it will be worth it. (Refer to above)
2. To avoid more writing, just don’t associate with people in my ward.
In conclusion, don’t eat Cheerios, all they do is make you think of things you don’t want to, like pow-wows, people telling you what to do. Although, they may lead you to write a blog post and waste time rather than doing homework and other productive activities*.
