My 3 yo was running around saying " oremus" (oremus= let us pray in Latin). It was funny because he had no idea what it means, he just picked it up listening to the older kids practice. He can also count to 10 in Latin, and not in English. But still not knowing what he is doing, just repeating. I know that if we did not homeschool we wouldn't have that funny moment. What are some of your funnies that happen, just because you homeschool. I know the homeschool humor is not normal. :lol:
When my older ones were learning of the history of the Ohio Country and its place in the Revolution, Phillip (age 3) kept talking about George Rogers Washington. (For those of you who don't live in what was once the Northwest Territory, you might not know that George Rogers Clark was the one who secured this land for the Colonies by defeating the British army at Ft. Vincennes in what is now Indiana.) (But then, since you ARE homeschoolers, you might just know it anyway, lol!)
This morning DS (3) was playing in the kitchen while DS (9) and I were going over math drills. Well the little one wonders over and starts calling out the answers off the back of the drill cards. He said, "48" first, and I thought that was just lucky. Then when I changed cards he said, "56" and continued to read about 4-5 more. LOL It really surprised me! He know his numbers up to 10 and he knows 100, but I had no idea he knew some of the others, too. My oldest started giving him high-fives each time he said the right number and the little one was just grinning from ear to ear. <3
I had some placemats on our school table (which also happened to be our dining table) and they had maps of the world on them. One day after dinner my 7 yo said "Hey Mama, there's grease on this placemat." I went over with a dishcloth to wipe the grease off and she started laughing, "No Mama GREECE! See, it's right by Italy." :lol: The joys of Geography and Homonyms!
HeeHee...Good one, Amy! When my older two were 6 & 8 years old we were doing Meet The Masters Art. One day while in Michaels one of them picked up the Starry Night print by Van Gough and said "Look they have Van Gough!" The other one said "I wonder if they have any Remmington. I like the horses." The lady in the same isle as us shot me a look and jaw drop. Cool!
Ds 9 was re-creating the ambush of Julius Caesar, but in modern day Texas drawl, until he got to the part where he says "Et tu, Brute?" where he suddenly morphed into a British accent. I was getting a kick out of picturing Julius Caesar at a shoot out at the OK corral, then suddenly it was Masterpiece Theatre.
Last year dd was outside practicing soccer with dh. She was getting upset that either he was blocking her or he got a ball past her. She just kept stomping around going Sum Iratus (Latin for I am angry). Dh could not stop laughing.
Oh, soccer!!! Rachael has played since age 3. So we went to this preschool activity day at a local rec center. There was a teen boy who had set up a little soccer net and was having the preschoolers shoot the ball. And the teen boy was making a half-hearted effort in blocking, but he let most of them go by thinking it would make the little kids feel good. Until he got to Phillip. Here's my 3yo giving this teen boy tips on how to play goalie! He tells the boy, "Watch me!" And then he gets right into the goal, bending over at the waist and sticking his little butt out. "You gotta move around!" And he demonstrated this. Then he tells the boy, "Now YOU try it!" So Phillip shot a few more, which were blocked. And he tells the guy, "SEE! That's MUCH better!!!"
My 4yo keeps telling my 14yo, "J if don't get busy doing your school work, you're never going to graduate. Now, get busy!" :lol:
Oh these are great! My 5 year old was walking around the other day saying "The British are coming! The British are coming!" And they both love telling people they know the ASL sign for 'toilet' LOL
