My husband and I rented a spot (obligatory this was in the spring, not today) at a local Mennonite market for a community yard sale. I was going to put a price sticker on this plastic bucket of dinosaurs, but decided just to hand out dinosaurs to kids that came to our booth. It was a hit and I was having fun.

A Mennonite family came to the booth and I was chatting with them, they had picked up some stuff, super nice. Then I asked their little kids if they wanted a dinosaur and they said no. I kinda doubled down, like really? You don’t want a dinosaur? And they shook their heads and backed up a little. Their parents looked a little stricken and ushered them to the next booth, and it took a minute or two of wondering what just happened that I realized I needed to do some Googling.

Sure enough, Mennonites don’t believe in dinosaurs. I think I actually offended them, because most of the Mennonites steered clear of our booth the rest of the weekend.

TLDR: offended a religious family by offering them dinosaur toys.
