Here are some of the most frequently asked questions I get:
Q: If you're Amish, how are you using a computer?
A: There is a computer at the library in town. It isn't like we are allergic to technology! We just don't live with technology. I spent my Rumspringa going to college for veterinary medicine. I decided to return to my family and bring my new skills to help my community. We are modern people! We just don't live the way that you do.
Q: Do you make your own underwear and socks?
A: We actually shop for basics, the same way that you do! We buy socks and underwear and stockings at stores. We make our own dresses. There are also Dutch crafters that make wonderful modest clothing.
Q: Do you have sex?
A: This is a strange question. Have you ever seen Amish children? Where do you think they come from? We aren't nuns. We just don't flaunt our bodies for everyone to see.
