So this is our first year at homeschooling. (I LOVE it, the hubby is a slower convert!) I knew it would be difficult at times. I knew it would require a huge sacrifice of my time. I knew it would seem overwhelming on many occasions. But nobody told me about the hilarity that would be present!We are using Story of the World for our history curriculum. (I love this...I'm learning as much as Jack!) Volume one begins with the earliest Nomads. It had been a long day for all of us but I still wanted to get the "narration" exercise in. I asked Jack a few questions about the nomads. He answered well until I asked him to tell me again where the nomads lived. He sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't know...retirement homes?" When I stopped laughing I told him we had probably had enough for that day. Funny #2: We were discussing Joseph being sold by his brothers to slave traders. When I read the part about the brothers returning to Jacob with the blood-stained coat of many colors and the lie they told, Jack wanted to reenact that scene. He stood very solemnly by the fire place and I was to come in as the sinful brothers and place the bloody coat at his feet. I tossed a towel down in front of him and he said, very sternly, "Where is your brother?" I told him that Joseph must have been killed by a lion and here is the bloody coat to prove it. Jack looked very hard at me, narrowed his eyes, shook his finger at me and said, very gravely, "Tell me the truth or you're grounded, mister!" Blessings to all!!
