My 7 year old came running down the stairs yesterday morning as the children were getting ready for the day (an event which typically includes my 6 year old teasing one of his brothers). He comes to dh and I and says, all in a huff, "T is being so bad.... He's being like a BC Roman to a Jew! And TR is the Jew!!"

While reading about the Civil War, DS yesterday declared a "Constipation Proclamation: Free The Poop! Free the Poop!"

ROFLOL that is hilarious!

Well, ds4 fell on top of ds10 who yelped, "Ouch! He fell on my fibula!"

[Trivium Academy]

"Why do you use hyperbole so much?" to my dh at the dinner table. I about died laughing right there!

She pronounced it hi-PER-bowl-E too so he didn't understand at first.

"Mom, he's being a barbarian and he's raiding my room!" Ds3 likes to go in her room and pull out all her toys and leave a mess.

That's the best I have from the last 2 weeks...

3 yo announces to her Sunday School teacher: "What happened to Gangi? (Gandhi) Oooh - he got shot with paint. And den he sleeped on a truck. They were putting cloth on the fire. Ooooh - dey need marshmellows."

(After watching Gandhi to go along with out family movie night!)

He was washing dishes and caught me smiling benevolently on him:

'Mum, you're not meant to experience schadenfreude when your children are doing chores."

My toddler still babbles quite a lot and when she means "go" she says "doe". At dinner with friends I hadn't seen in years the baby decided it was time to leave so she is saying "doe, doe" and the 6 yo pops in with "do, dare, dedi, datum - I give, to give, I gave, given"

No really, my kids aren't strange homeschoolers.... they are normal. I promise ;)

I thought it was cute when my oldest was playing with her tiny rabbits and was having them ask "quis es?" and the rabbits came up with various correct responses for who they were supposed to be. :)

These aren't recent but they are two of my favorites:

1. When eldest (then 7) made up the joke: What's an ancient Briton's favorite instrument? A SAXON-phone!

2. Same child desired a "pretty petals" craft kit. She won me over when she claimed she wanted to make a model of the hanging gardens of Babylon.

You know you're a homeschooler when....

... after a semester of ps, your 2nd grader complains that he has forgotten so much of his math since starting school.

... your 2nd grader tells his dad, "The Romans were terrified of Hannibal's elephants. That's why they called it the Panic Wars."

... your 4yo reads the word "Freight" on the back of an elevator. When an adult in the elevator accuses you of telling him what it said, the same 4yo turns to the front of the elevator and reads clearly, "In case of fire, elevators will be disabled."

...Awana Cubbies changes its policy and starts limiting the children to only one memory verse a week, and at the meeting explaining this, three leaders immediately jump up and object, "But what are we going to do about [insert child's name here]?!"

... you take your 6th grader to check out the ps for the first time ever, and she, upon meeting the head principal, looks him straight in the eye, smiles, offers her hand to shake, and says, "Hello, Dr. ____. It's very nice to meet you!" Extra points if this leaves the principal speechless because he's never seen a 6th grader do this before.

... it takes the same 6th grader an entire semester at ps to grasp the cold, awful truth that some kids just LIKE to be mean (this is incomprehensible at first because all her friends up until now have been nice and friendly).

... your child wouldn't even DREAM of doing school on a family member's birthday!

... your children think nothing of including kids half their age in the game, or of joining in adult conversations.

Funny!!

When my kids walk into a public place (museum, restaurant,etc) on a holiday or other day when the schools are out, they'll roll their eys and say, Pubbies."

When my now-12-year-old was 4, I tried to talk her out of a really cute basket in the shape of a strawberry, because it was made in China (and I bought it, after all, because, after all, 4 year-old girls are so cute!) We talked about how things are made there, and I even mentioned the little girls who live in factories and never get to go to school. Fast forward a year, as we started kindergarten at home. Grandma, who didn't understand this homeschool thing, asked if I was sending her to school. Dd, who REALLY wanted to go at that point, piped up with, "No, Grandma, I'm just like those little girls in China. I don't get to go to school."

OMG--that. is. hilarious.

[Lori C, Texas]

I don't know if this is a homeschool thing or not but the other day my 6 year old asked me a question. I told him I didn't know and he told me "Then why don't you just Google it?":)

[Beth in Central TX]

My 5-year old recently broke his arm. When someone asks him what happened, he says, "I broke my humerus falling off my bike".

[Snickerdoodle]

"No, Grandma, I'm just like those little girls in China. I don't get to go to school."

Hilarious.

You know your kids are homeschooled when out at the muddy baseball field they make little models of The Nile River instead of playing in the dirt!
Also, every time my dc see a big brick wall around a home they say, "Look, mom it's the Great Wall of China!" I love it!

Dd, after using the public restroom and reading the word "sex" written on the stall, comes out and says, "Hey mom, someone wrote six in Latin on the bathroom door". :)

When dh said, "Mea culpa," my dd asked him if he even knew what that meant.

[Heidi @ Mt Hope]

My 6yo ds is always full of it! His name is Levi and my grandfather always asks for the latest Levitical Sayings, LOL.

The other day we were doing FLL. The lesson was on common and proper nouns. The lesson asks the child to think of a proper name for a girl. Levi says Mona Lisa. I ask him for a man's proper name. He says King Louis XV. I was almost scared to ask him for a boy's proper name. He says Levi, of course! The last question was a book. He says Kings and Queens of England. I ask him if he knows King Louis was from France. He says, 'I'm not talking about him anymore." I suppose there is a book called Kings and Queens of England. I looked at the example in the book, and it says Go, Dog, Go! LOL!
