Years ago when my dad was called to be part of a bishopric, my mom was talking to her sister and told her the news. My dad, being the private man that he is, doesn’t really announce news like that—or really any news at all—and wasn’t really thrilled about my mom doing it either. He would rather the topic just come up naturally. Well, obviously, some things (like being called into a bishopric) just don’t come up naturally.
The next time my mom wanted to announce something that doesn’t come up naturally, she coined the phrase, “What do you think about…?
This phrase has since been used many times in our family to announce important things.
For example, if I were wanting to announce that I was getting married, I might say something like…
“What do you think about weddings in November?”
Well folks, it’s not hypothetical. It’s true.
Brian proposed last weekend.
And I said “yes!”
Great to hear! We'll have to start looking at flights. No promises, but we really hope that we can make it. Keep us updated with more wedding info.
