Some homeschool funnies....

I hope these make you smile as much as they make us smile. And question our schooling....

When eating pancakes for dinner one night last week, our oldest daughter commented that the pancakes didn't taste "normal" and questioned what kind they were. Our 11 yr. old son replied, "Jack Daniels." We all about spit out our food. He went to find the box and found out mom does not cook with liquor. She uses Hungry Jack. (where has he even heard of Jack Daniels?!)

That same night the same 11 yr. old was helping me with dishes. He very seriously asked me if I knew any child prostitutes. I very calmly said, "No, do you?" He replied that Mrs. Kara (Curfman) did and she had told them about it in art. (at ELO) I asked him to tell me what a child prostitute was. His answer? "Someone who does something good." I looked at him and said very straight faced, "That's a child prodigy, not prostitute."

One more...

Last night our almost 9 yr. old little girl decided to make a spaceship out of a box. She decorated it all up and named it. She put initials on the side of the box for the name. After seeing it, we told her that spaceship is one word. She didn't know that and had put A(bi's) S(pace) S(hip). There were no parenthesis on her box.

Their teacher should be fired....

I'm very impressed that you kept your cool and asked him what a prostitute was. I learned from my aunt long ago to ask questions and not assume they really mean what they say. I'm not sure I could really do it though! Too cute!
