"Planking" Pictures

In the past month or so I've noticed a growing "fad" that is pretty much the dumbest thing ever.  It is called "planking."  Click HERE for an explanation of what it is and why people do it.


But here's the thing:  I totally love it.  It makes me laugh out loud.  I've  had some friends post "plank pics" on Facebook and even saw Justin Bieber plank pics a while back. Haha.  It's just so random but you'd be surprised at how fun it is.


I took a group of teens to explore BYU campus today. We had a blast and kept ourselves totally entertained.  We visited the Bean science museum, art museum, dorms, and other various buildings on campus.  One of my teens decided to do a plank pic laying on the floor of the art museum.  I was like, "Pssst!  Get up!"  I didn't want the security guards to think we were too rowdy.  But it was super funny seeing this girl lying face down on the floor so her friend could take a picture.


It was the beginning of a long day of planking. Here are a few examples.

That last statue one made me nervous (even though I told her to do it) because there were landscape workers nearby-- they kept eyeing us and I didn't want to get in trouble.  But at least now you have an idea of how their creative minds were working all day.  :)


Maybe I'm just totally immature-- well, that is already probably true-- but a good planking pic does make me chuckle.  May we all plank merrily through the holiday season and capture those perfect planking moments.
