    I think you're being a bit hard on her. She's a Lancaster Mennonite. As
    such, she's by definition little above clueless as to matters of the
    "outside" world. I recall a story about Landis several years ago that noted
    that his family strenuously opposed his taking up bicycle racing. It took
    her a long time to begin following Floyd because she had never watched TV
    before. So it sounds like she's in the process of being corrupted by the
    modern world. And you've got to admit that Floyd's two sisters are kind of
    cute in a Mennonite sort of way, eh?

    I have _never_ seen a family who featured each other so
    closely.

    At least the kids have no doubts about who there parents are. :-) They all
    seem like good people from what I've read about them.

    The Jacksons? I mean, back when they were pretty much natural.
