I wonder if he pimped his buggy before meeting her

He must be from the Tasmanian branch.

Ok, he's Amish, but is using a cell phone to send text messages?

(yes, that is the part of the story that stuck out for me - so sue me)

[@meric@nwom@n]

Maybe it's a Rumspringa thing.

Asked what kinds of questions the bishops will likely raise about cell phones, Kraybill replies, "Are cell phones being used 'to make a living' or just for gossip and frivolous chatter? Will permitting cell phones lead to having phones in homes, and where will that lead ... to fax machines and the Internet?"

Just a guess, but I suspect that the bishops aren't going to condone sexting as an approved use...
