Chapter 8

I don't understand the deal with the milk. They make such a commotion about not having enough places to store the milk. Apparently now that they are more skilled, they can get two gallons instead of one out of a cow. But if they have more than they need, why not just cut back on production? morons. If they are all about conservation and what not...they should stop pumping out so much milk.

You would think the Brende's would realize that since they don't have technology..that also means they don't have an alarm system on their shed...i mean house. Because of that, Amos almost walked in on the couple after a night of hookin up. They were "clothed only in sheets"? That's hilarious. What a bunch of hippies. Another thing this chapter brought up is prenatal care. I would not want my kid being delivered by some long bearded guy in a barn. I would prefer my wife to have a nice, clean, comfortable, and safe hospital room. I'm sure it is possible to deliver babies in barns. But with today's medicine, so many simple problems can be avoided with a quick checkup at an OBGYN.

The couple also finally did something right. They started to look at other places to live. I guess they finally realized that Amishville USA is not where they wanted to be forever. If anything, i think Mary will crack before Eric. Eric is all about doing his stupid experiment. And Mary is just along for the ride. So now that a kid is going to be in the picture, maybe she will wise up and take a trip back to reality.

You can't stop pumping a cow. You need to pump a cow's milk, or she will get sick and will be in tremendous amounts of pain. The only reason they can get more out of her, is because they are spilling less milk now that they know how to properly milk the cow.
