This morning at breakfast one of my children asked me what an “Amish Paradise” is. (For the uninitiated, you may click on the link to see the video.) When I was a teenager singing along to “I Lost On Jeopardy”, did I have any idea that I would be hearing my own small children sing it? Not so much.

So we start explaining to my son what it means to be Amish. When I mentioned that the women dressed very modestly and wore no makeup, he said, “Good“.
To which I replied, “What do you mean, good?”
“I don’t like makeup.”
“You don’t think makeup makes mommy look prettier?”
“No! It just makes you look weirder.” (10 year old son pipes in in agreement.)
Then 5 year old daughter speaks up:
“I DO!”.
LOL 
I guess that’s why she’s a girl.
