A Joke!

Okay, in light of last week's blog posting, I'd like to share a couple of jokes with you that captured the fun side of homeschooling:

#1: Socialization seems to be the big issue among homeschool critics. One mom, when asked "What about socialization?" always answers with "I know... it's a big problem for us, but we're trying to cut back!"
:)

#2: My daughter came home from a play date the other day with a former classmate who is still going to public school. Obviously the socialization issue was asked of her (she's 10, mind you) while she was there, because when she came home, her first question of me was "Mom, are we socialists?" I was quite taken aback, but after a few questions, I realized that when she was asked about how we were dealing with "socialization," she incorrectly thought they were asking about "socialism." Too funny!

#3: A good friend sent me this:

One day, a homeschooled boy heard his mom talking to someone in the kitchen. He went in to see who was visiting, and found his mother grumbling and muttering to herself in frustration. He asked, "Mom, what are you doing?" Her answer was, "I'm having a parent-teacher conference." :)

Have a great week!
