A Proper Amish man - Chelsea McCann
Abigail knew the path to the Church by heart. She could walk it blindfolded if she had to. Once, her brother Eli had dared her to. She made it halfway before she tripped on a rock and sprained her wrist. Everyone laughed, but she argued it could have happened to anyone.
She remembered her mother, red faced, her thick, black hair slipping from her bonnet when she discovered what her middle daughter had done. Dat is niet wat de dames doen!
That is not what ladies do.
She continued to walk the path every day, sometimes twice a day. That was what ladies did in Amish country; they went to church. Usually Abigail was accompanied by one of the little ones. She was one of eleven: Mary was the eldest, then Ruth, Miriam, Eli, Aaron, herself, Samuel, Isaac, Hannah, Sarah and then finally Baby Jilly who had accompanied her that day.
Jilly held Abigail’s hand as she skipped down the path. Her black hair was in two braids on either side of her head, and her boots were worn from the six little girls that had worn them before her. Abigail figured she should have scolded Jilly for skipping, dat is niet wat de dames doen, but as she wasn’t her mother she figured she would let her get away with it.
What are we gonna sing today?
Jilly asked her big sister. She was five. Abigail was sixteen.
I’m not sure,
she said. Whatever Pastor John has planned for us, I guess.
Ik hoop dat het iets leuk om te zingen,
Jilly said, accidentally slipping into the Dutch their parents spoke at home, and whenever they were talking with other elders in the town. I hope it’s something fun to sing,
