The Manhattan 2nd Ward is Better Than Your Ward

Allow me to lay out a few assumptions/generalizations. Though these aren't true in every circumstance, they are more likely than not accurate.

- Smart people tend to do well in school and attend prestigious universities. 

- People that do well in prestigious universities tend to be hired by successful companies and are paid well.

- Successful companies tend to have offices in large cities. 

- Handsome/beautiful people are attracted to wealthy people, or those that will eventually become wealthy (because they are smart). 

- When handsome/beautiful people mate with wealthy/smart people, they have handsome/beautiful/smart children that will eventually become wealthy.

When these handsome/beautiful/smart children get together to perform a primary children's program, it goes something like this:

- Flute solo by a primary child.

- Heartfelt testimonies by primary children

- Six person boys choir (in matching sport coats)

- Girls choir

- Vocal solo by primary girl with primary choir accompaniment

- Vocal solo by primary boy

- Talk by primary boy who quoted George Bernard Shaw

Needless to say, we feel a bit out of place here. At least our baby is cute.
