Is it just me or does Mraz love us Mormons?

Am I the only one that thinks Jason Mraz sings about Mormons in his song. . .I'm Yours??

"Listen to the music of the Mormon people, dance and sing. . .we're just one big family."

Growing chart. . .

We keep track of our ever-growing kids on the door by the bathroom. . .marking their height progress every 6 months. Madison is now almost as tall as me. . .she grows a crazy 2 inches every 6 months or so. When Molly saw how much further along Madison is then her she said. .
