Lamination vs. paper tortilla chip bag

I have been in Young Women now for 6 1/2 years straight. First 5 were spent as the camp director and now the last 1 1/2 years as the president. As we all know, women (especially Young Women and Relief Society) like to laminate everything. So, when we Young Women prepare for a camp or any overnight function, the meal plans are laminated, the recipes are inside plastic protectors in a binder, and posters are made so they can be displayed all over the place so no one will miss anything. Everybody knows this, right?

So, how do the Boy Scouts or Young Men in our ward prepare meal plans for a campout?

Rod and Alex returned late Saturday night from their Young Men's father's and son's campout to Scofield. Yesterday when I was going through some stuff in the kitchen I noticed that something was written on the Tortilla chip bag that was brought back from the campout. (You may need to click on the pictures to get the full view)



Yes, the meal plans for the weekend were written with a pencil (the audacity!) on the tortilla chip bag.
You can imagine I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard. This would never even come to a Young Women's leaders' mind. How low-tech, indeed.

At least they remembered the garlic for the roast. It amazes me how men camp and plan pretty much everything. My son takes canned spam and chili to his camp outs. You couldn't pay me to be within 10 miles of his tent.

You should see how our YW Pres. sets up our Girls Camp site. She sets up a portable carport for the kitchen and has an actual parachute for shade and rain protection. They only have biffys and she puts FABRIC up on the walls!

And I LOVE lamination. I laminate everything that I can.

Hilarious! Do they have the nylons hanging on the water spicket thing with the soap in it? That one is classic.

You are right though - with women everything is laminated! Men are just funny that way. They like to fly by the seat of their pants. AAAHHH!

That cracks me up. Maybe next time you should send a fake flower centerpiece and tablecloth for their table. Boys will be boys. Katherine is now dictating: It's Uncle Rod's birthday. Can I see him. Thank you, Uncle Rod, thank you. Thank you, Uncle Rod, thank you. (this song is going on and on, so I'm signing out.)

Men! They kill me. Thank goodness they have us to remind them that they wrote the grocery list on tortilla chip bag! Also, you have been tagged young lady. Get crackin!

Awesome. My first thought was... lazy guys, they should be more like us women. Then I thought for a minute and realized... maybe we should stop being such perfectionists and relax every once in a while, like the guys are ever so good at doing, to a fault :)
