Magic Underwear

On the way home on Saturday one of the carpool girls announced that she had heard about garments and just had to know more.  So I gave her the standard they're symbolic reminders of promises you make in the temple.  I guess that just isn't exciting enough for people or something, because there was a pause, and then she said that she needed to know more about them.  I told her that there's not much else to tell, of course she's heard the whole "magic underwear" stuff and so I think she was pretty much convinced that I was holding out on her.  She told me that she needs to know more about Mormons so she was going home to look up some stuff online.  I did write down the church website for her, and told her they could give her a nice accurate overview of our beliefs.  I got home and Lynn reassured me that the church website will not be sensational enough for her, and that she will probably still go do a google search for some crazy stories about g's.  It never ceases to amuse me the apparent need some people have to be shocked by Mormons, and the disappointment they express when the doctrines aren't quite as sensational as they had hoped.
