I do not enjoy being confronted with stereotypes.
Really, I don't think anyone does.
But it seems that we just can't help but believe them.
As a Mormon, there are MANY stereotypes that people think define me.
I would like to dispel some of these.
1. I did not grow up in Utah.
2. I am not a huge fan of the Osmond's (I actually had to google them to get the spelling right).
3. I am not a Republican.
4. I am the only wife of my husband (I am amazed to find out how many people actually believe that we are polygamists).
5. I only have 2 children, and no, I do not plan on having 8.
6. I am not in love with Mitt Romney.
7. I do not support Glenn Beck (frankly, he kind of creeps me out).
8. I once had a nose ring, and I still have tattoos.
9. I do not consider BYU to be the only option for my kids future college plans.
(I actually worry that my kids will want to go there someday.)
10. I love Tupac.
Just thought you might like to know!

well what's with the mitt romney poster above your bed (hanging over the mirror i might add)
How have I not seen your tattoos?
I am actually with you on most of those. What gets me is the stereotypes Mormons have of nonmembers...just because I am a convert doesn't mean I slept around before, drank, or smoked. yet everyone assumes I must have and they feel free to ask me about it.
BUT...do you have a tattoo of Tupac? That is the question?
