When asked if the township Leacock was pronounced 'Lee-cock' our 87 year old Amish guide responded "It's 'lay-cock'. Leacock, Intercourse, Blue Ball and other such named towns..."
I'd say the Amish certainly have a sense of humor.

Churning Butter
While visiting family in Pennsylvania, we were tooling about the Amish Shopping Center 'Kitchen Kettle Village' and decided to take an 'olde fashioned buggy ride' to see a bit of the farmlands.

Ten Minutes
After a long day of flying to Pennsylvania, the kids were anxious during the last leg of travel - driving from Philadelphia to Gramma and Grandpa's in Lancaster.
"Mama, How much longer (is it until we get to the house)?"
"Well BW, I could tell you the truth, which is I don't know, or I could tell you ten minutes. Which do you want to hear?"
"Ten minutes. Then I'll ask again in ten minutes... How long is ten minutes?"

Your Light Saber
According to the boy (who, by the way, is standing before me dressed in full Bobba Fett regalia complete with a full head voice-modifying helmet) ...
"Your light saber is your destiny... you must keep it with you or you will die."
And thusly we began our day.

Well, excuse ME!
*sigh* today's lesson (again) with the offspring. When your body 'speaks' other than that of your voice, you say 'Excuse Me'.
This after a very noisy (and quite smelly) lunch.
Whoopie! To those Dr.s that told Charles & I that we 'would probably never be able to have kids'...
I'd like my money back.
