Day 15: Lock the Pantry

"Don’t make it easy for young men to hang out in a setting where you women provide the food. Don’t subsidize freeloaders...I think you should lock the pantry and bolt the front door." Dallin H. Oakes

We've been doing a lot of moving this week, and that has required a lot of male assistance. My male neighbors and friends have been more than willing to help us with this, so my roommates and I have been more than willing to feed them. You know, as payment for their moving services.

Well, what I didn't know was that if you feed a guy a couple times, I guess they come to expect it.

Our neighbors came down for something, and without an invitation, or a word from any of us, they went straight to the table to help themselves to our dinner we had not yet cleared from the table.

Unbelieveable! Our jaws dropped and we all just stared at them, wondering what had brought us to this point. So we did what good, single Mormon girls should do. We locked our pantries and bolted the front door.
