Pig: Whatcha reading, goat? Goat: This book on the Amish. It's a very interesting religion. Pig: How so? Goat: We, for example, they have this rite of passage called 'Rumspringa'. Pig: What is it? Goat: Its this period of adolescence where young people can go out and sow their wild oats. Pig: What does that mean? Goat: Some of them go out into the world and experience drinking and hooking up and driving fast cars and flouting authority. Do you understand what that means? Rat: THAT I'M AMISH!!! Goat: No. Pig: He's the holiest man ever! Rat: Now then...can this 'rite of passage' last my whole life?
My great-grandfather was Amish; ’twas his grandson (my father) who joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
