from the mouths of babes

If you weren’t a Mormon, what would you be?
Hmm. I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't be too different—because I can't stand irresponsibility.
(correct answer: a giant)
Well, I know I certainly wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't be in the same place I am now.
Yeah, true, I guess I wouldn't be the same person I am.
Ah ha. I know exactly what I'd be if I weren’t a Mormon.
What?
A recluse.
Like a hermit?
Yeah. I would live a solitary life—probably growing bitter toward humanity as I brooded and wrote my misunderstood stories and songs.
Oh, you'd be one of those.
Yep.
I'd probably be out looking for old, nearly dead, rich guys to marry.
A grave robber?
A gold digger. You were close.

what do you mean

What do a civilization's laws say about its people?
Well, if laws govern, then the laws may indicated areas where the people do not do a good job of governing themselves.
Good. What do you mean?
Um, I don't know. I mean, I do know what I mean… I just already said it how I meant it.

• My dear friend Jimmy Nelson came frightfully close to breaking my leg today.
•• Oh my goodness! Are you okay?!
• Yeah. Just experiencing some blunt force trauma.
•• Does it hurt to walk on it?
• It's bearable. I'll try again in a bit. Right now it's under ice.

You will love this. Right? Because A: It's Kristofer Åström. And because B: It's almost as if Matt Pond is playing the music and Kristofer Åström is singing the song.
