Scott's Feminine Side

I found these pictures from a few months ago and thought this needed to be documented. A few months after we moved into our ward I was called as a beehive advisor. I'll admit I was a little intimidated by this calling considering it's been a long time since I was 12 or 13 and I don't know the first thing about what girls that age are into these days. I know...what am I 80? But that's really how I felt. Anyway, one of the girls, Penelope, lives a few streets away and occasionally stops by for a surprise visit. One night she came over and brought one of her sisters. I happened to be painting my nails and thought this would be a good opportunity to have some serious girl bonding with some manis and pedis. Well...apparently not a whole lot has changed since I was 12 or 13 because what was more intriguing than having their nails painted by their cool, new leader was, of course, chasing Scott around trying to paint his nails. Needless to say, there wasn't a lot of girl bonding with all the attention on Scott. It was, however, very entertaining to see Scott run away and get attacked by little blonde girls with nail polish in their hands. Ultimately a compromise had to be made because there was no way I was letting those three make a mess out of the carpet and also because they pretty much wouldn't give up, or leave, until they accomplished their goal. So Scott ended up agreeing to sit still if they painted only one toenail each. I just had to save the girl bonding for another time.
