Since I've spent most of my life hoeing potatoes and thinking about Mennonite girls, I guess I know what's wrong with them. In fact I've worn out three hoe handles thinking about it. Mennonite girls are too much like my mother. Don't get me wrong. I'm not condemning motherhood. It seems to be a pretty good invention, ranking up there with apple pie. (Both, I believe, were developed by Eve while living in Eden, a small town near Lancaster.) So if by chance I find a Mennonite girl who doesn't tell me to wear my rubbers when it rains, I shall marry her. It's the least I can do. And if we're fruitful and she begins to act like a mother then, I'll hoe my potatoes and not say a word. Alan Leinbach, Philip Byler 19 On Mennonite Girls

Velma Brubaker When The Mennonite Boy enters the room, I look demure and begin fingering my purse strap. He speaks rap- idly to a nearby friend, taking care not to look in my direc- tion. Inevitably, though, our eyes meet. (I have forgotten to look demure and besides, his face rather interests me.) For several months we exchange accidental glances across rooms. When we eat lunch together (yes, finally) we vigorously discuss politics to prove that we are informed. Tiring of such games, I mention an- tiques and wait for a response. There is none. We never eat together again. Later I learn that he collects old jars, digs the Mennonite Hymnal, and wants to live in the country. But he is so well protected against threats like me that I never get to tell him about the old 1923 Mason on mother's shelf at home. 18 On Mennonite Boys
