Conversation: The amish edition

This is really a continuation of the chicken conversation we had last week...

Trying to schedule three couples for one dinner out at a fabulous Lebanese restaurant nearby.

Edith: The husband and I will be out of town this weekend in Amish country.  We figured since we  have chickens we may as well adopt their entire lifestyle.

Wanda Louise:  I hope it’s warmer in Amish country than it is here.  I hear that backyard chickens are the gateway drug to buggy driving and getting off the grid.  If you grow your hair into a long stringy braid though I will come to church with scissors and cut it right off.  I have hair issues!

Edith:   The only appeal of one long stringy braid would be convenience--I am very lazy about my hair. If I can't do it in about 5 minutes, it's too complicated of a style--never to be repeated again.

Wanda Louise: How about the Saturday the 14th or Friday the 20th?

Edith:  At this point, Friday, March 30th would work best for us.

Wanda Louise:  March 30 is a Monday on my calendar.  I know you Amish may use a different calendar so I’m just a bit confused.

Edith:  Yes, I meant Friday the 20th.....I've been doing that a lot lately and I'm going to blame menopause--although I use that excuse a lot....
