Zach's First Date...

Zach called me on Saturday to tell me he had gone on his first "real" date. He turned 16 last May and when I took him to get his driver's license, I asked him if there was someone he was excited to take out now that he was "legit". He didn't really say a whole lot but I knew she would have to be someone special for him to part with his hard-earned money.

Ok.....so, she's a girl in his Stake, not his ward. Her name is Eve..(cute, huh?) and according to Zach,.... she's hot. He was very excited for this date and went to a lot of trouble to make it nice. He got his dad to let him borrow the new car, he called the movie theatres in her neighborhood (about 20 minutes away) to get showtimes, programmed her address into the GPS, cashed his paycheck from Harris Teeter, did some push-ups (jk...but he is a hunk and a half, though) and drove to go get Eve. Just a few things went wrong...

1. He put the wrong address in the GPS and ended up in someone's driveway in a very "questionable" part of town.

2. After he called Eve and got her correct address, they arrived at the movie theatre only to find out that Zach had called the wrong theatre for show times and the movie they were planning to see wasn't even playing at that theatre.

Being the easy-going person Zach is, they just picked a different movie that was starting in a few minutes, grabbed some popcorn and Jr. Mints and found some seats. He was just settling in next to his "sweetie", relieved to finally get to sit close and maybe put his arm around her, when he felt a little tap on his shoulder......

Sitting right behind them with a big smile on his face was Eve's Bishop.....

Driving around town lost in this day and age.........$11.00 (gas)

Showing up at the wrong movie theatre.......$17.50 (can't use discount tickets)

Sitting right in front of your hot date's Bishop at the movies.........................PRICELESS!!!!
