Yesterday a hs girl that lives down the street

[lynn]

was walking her dog while I was running. The dog pulled from her and was barking at me she said "excuse him he's homeschooled and needs to learn to socialize" I found this funny then I thought would this offend anyone.

That's hilarious! Was she a homeschool girl or a highschool girl? I guess she could be both. I was just wondering which the hs in your post stands for.

[WendyK]

yeah if hs is homeschooled, then it is really was funny...otherwise I might think she is making fun of me!

I think it is hysterical and we have said the same thing numerous times about our Henry the Psycho Dog.

She said, "Excuse him. He's homeschooled and needs to learn to socialize." I found this funny then I thought would this offend anyone?

Whether I would be offended would depend 100% on her delivery of the quip. Since you thought it was funny, I'm guessing she meant it as a good-natured joke.

But I could see someone saying this in a very negative offending tone. Then it would not be funny.

:lol:

Depends on the delivery and the person. If the girl is homeschooled, funny for sure.

The homeschool highschool students that I work with are so funny with their homeschool jokes about themselves. They call our co-op (it is a public school parent partership program) the "special school" and they always make jokes about themselves.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself. I belong to a parents of kids with type-1 diabetes support list. There is a whole page deticated to the line, you know you are a parent of a child with diabetes when...
Many are almost painful but make you laugh. Here's one

I asked dd7 what she had for lunch and she replied, 45 carbs! :001_huh:
I wonder if there is a similar site for homeschoolers?

[LadyNancy]

Have any of you seen the car magnet or t-shirts that say "CAUTION - Unsocialized Homeschoolers on Board"? I think it's hysterical. :lol:

[Tracey in TX]

Too funny!!

That's a good one -

I have a lot of fun, on field trips, walking up to a kid. . . .

"So, how's your teacher this year?"

The look on their face is priceless!
(My kids think I'm nuts :))

People have asked my kids that not knowing that they are homeschooled, my kids are such hams, they'll whisper while pointing at me, "She's pretty bad!" :p
