heh.  Those are not the "facts" I meant.  Since actual attempts at
humor rarely get comments, I'll take a laugh at an offhand remark read
in an unintended way.  :)

I was talking about how I've seen "The Amish" community around
Lancaster PA where kids own cell phones and hide their cars at
friends' houses.  Maybe that's just rebellious teen behavior and they
adopt their parents' memes as they become adults?  I tried to watch
the tv show Breaking Amish/etc. about the kids experience in NYC.
Perhaps I assumed incorrectly that fewer of them return.

I guess if you don't have modern distractions like streaming content
and the Internet, breeding is a fun way to spend your time?
