I forgot where I even found this so I can't give credit for the composer but I thought this was so cute. You Know You're A Homeschool Mom When... You get to change more than diapers, you get to change their minds. When a child busts a lip, and after seeing she's okay, you round up some scotch tape to capture some blood and look at it under the microscope! Your children never ever leave the "why?" stage. When your teenager decides to take one community college course, and comes home and asks you why the teacher wrote "At" on his paper. (A+) You ask for, and get, a copier instead of a diamond tennis bracelet for your wedding anniversary. Your kids think reading history is best accomplished while lying on the floor with their head resting on the side of their patient dog. Your husband can walk in at the end of a long day and tell how the science experiment went just by looking at the house. Your neighbors think you are insane. Your formal dining room now has a computer, copy machine, and many book shelves and there are educational posters and maps all over the walls. You have meal worms growing in a container....on purpose. Talking out loud to yourself is a parent/teacher conference. You take off for a teacher in-service day because the principal needs clean underwear. You can't make it through a movie without pointing out the historical inaccuracies. You step on math manipulatives on your pre-dawn stumble to the bathroom. Some day your children will consider you to be a miracle-working expert and will turn to you for advice. You can't make it through the grocery produce department without asking your preschooler the name and color of every vegetable. You can't put your produce in your cart without asking your older student to estimate its weight and verify accuracy. You live in a one-house schoolroom.
I love this!! I especially like the one where the husband comes home at the end of the day and can tell how the science experiment went based on the condition of the house, LOL.
Oh..and one day recently, we could not do what we had planned as my maternity clothes were not clean! I only own 3 pairs of maternity shorts/capris and I ran out. LOL
LOL My favorite is the parent/teacher conference. I have lots, and lots of those. And all my neighbors DO think I am insane.
I've gotten to where I actually growl at the computer when I see the common ones - your/you're, it's/its, their/they're/there, etc. It bothers my 10yo as well. It's funny because... I married a... (non-speller? bad speller?) man who is better at geography than spelling. I have to stop my 10yo from correcting Dad, but I also have to work in a lesson for Dad now and then. He now gets the big three right... most of the time. :lol: Oh - and never end a sentence with a preposition! ROFL j/k
Like we tell our boys, "if you are getting picked on the best way to defuse the situation is to laugh at yourself". We are a funny bunch!
