Yesterday the Elders Quorum made breakfast for a Break-The-Fast meal. I had mentioned earlier to the EQP that they should add bacon to their menu, which he so kindly did.<\/p>\n
Well, they bought a lot of bacon. About 10 pounds worth even, but as luck would have it they were practically out by the time I was making my breakfast burrito and I only got two pieces. You can see how this was insufficient.<\/p>\n
I quickly ducked into the kitchen and encouraged the men to keep frying.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, one of the family wards had returned to the building for choir practice, and a few children had found our breakfast spread. We graciously shared what was left with them.<\/p>\n
I had just finished my burrito when an announcement was made to the cultural hall that more bacon was now ready. I took my time getting back to the buffet tables as not to appear too eager, and in those two minutes all the bacon was gone. I asked Lowell (a federal agent), standing by the empty platter what had happened, and learned the kids had rushed the table. I said,<\/p>\n
“Lowell, as a federal agent, don’t you have the authority to stop their little hands from taking my bacon?”<\/p>\n
(Ed. note: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take your bacon.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)<\/p>\n
(Ed note: No flirting on the Blog.)<\/p>\n
As we were talking about this, a new batch of grease hot bacon was brought out of the kitchen. I thanked the cook for the new supply and went to grab a plate when the bacon thieves returned. They circled the table and began reaching in for the crispy delicious.<\/p>\n
I cried out, “Hey!” and Lowell took his cue to reprimand the three boys.<\/p>\n
“Now, kids. I think you’ve had plenty of our food. Go and find your parents.”<\/p>\n
The boys ran out of the room about to cry, and I ran out too. Paris had already stopped them to let them know Lowell was joking. I felt so bad. My bacon addiction had broken the feelings of innocent children. They like bacon just as much as me.<\/p>\n
This is when I realized I might have a bacon problem.<\/p>\n
