You may have seen this before....it's silly, but it's Friday sooooo: Q: How does a home schooler change a light bulb? A: First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed. And there is light.
Good one! Here is another: Real Homeschool Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it. Real Homeschool Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Homeschool Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids. Real Homeschool Mothers know that dried playdough doesn't come out of shag carpet. Real Homeschool Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up. Real Homeschool Mothers sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best." Real Homeschool Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade ... It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mommy to Mom.
So I looked at my ceiling the other day-had door open (no screen door) and there were a bunch of flies just hanging out....thought to myself (randomly) "There just MUST'VE been more than 2 flies on that ark"......
