I moved to Lansing, Michigan after my divorce, from Massachusetts, and I had never seen one Mennonite person in my life until then, and when I saw them, I didn't know they were Mennonites.
Unfortunately, I stared, because I couldn't figure out why the mother and daughter were both wearing the same extremely ugly pair of brown shoes and the exact same skirt. The shoes were so ugly they kept drawing my attention.
I was standing in line at a store, so I continued to stare, and thought I was not being obvious. Apparently I was obvious, because the Mennonite father and husband, who looked just like a regular guy with a beard, began rebuking me from across the store for my own clothing. I think the shirt I was wearing was low cut...which doesn't fly too well in Michigan.
I had to ask my brother why that had happened, and he explained about Mennonites.
