We have jars and jars of peanut butter in food storage. My mom makes us use the oldest first, so you have to stir the peanut butter for about 10 minutes into a spreadable consistently. It's kind of gross. My life is Mormon.

When I was 21, unmarried and childless, I bought a PT Cruiser because I thought it would be good for kids. A sort of mini-Mommy mobile. I still don't have children, but it still makes sense. My life is Mormon.

Last summer we had to move my LDS great-aunt out of her home in Vernal, Utah to a retirement community closer to us. In the past eight months, my mom has not had to purchase any canned food, boxed food, jam, or ziploc bags for our family. And we're only halfway through. I'm not even Mormon and my life is Mormon.

At one of our mutual activities for the dance festival, the leaders were playing some 'hip' music to try and get us all into dancing. The song "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas came on. The part where they sing "Mazeltov!" and "L'chaim!" was censored out. No Jewish references at mutual. My life is Mormon.

I know that JTAYCL means to tell the lady at the checkout that the 300 hamburger patties I'm buying is for a ward party, in hopes that she will ask what a ward is, and to tell my friend the reason I'm busy on Wednesday is because of mutual, also in hopes of them asking about it. All this is done in the hopes of getting into a gospel discussion, a second favorite pastime behind shopping at Costco. My life is Mormon.

"[Nonmembers] have images of clean-cut missionaries, loving families, and friendly neighbors who don’t smoke or drink. We might also be known as a people who attend church every Sunday for three hours, in a place where everyone is a brother or a sister, where the children sing songs about streams that talk, trees that produce popcorn, and children who want to become sunbeams." My life is Mormon.
