    When my kid is on a stage, if he doesn't pick his nose it's a victory. He might be disassembling the microphone, but at least no fingers up the nose.

    What is up with all these science activities that expect you to have clear film canisters? It's not as If these books were published when I was a kid!

      you can buy them easily and cheaply on ebay and other sites. In fact, I believe I just asked at our drugstore and were given some for free.

      Honestly? Her kids, her call. ACE is NOT the end of the world. Would you say anything if she decided to unschool? It gets the basics covered, if in a somewhat inglorious way.

      I experienced ACE as a child, and it put me behind the public school. But since she's excited, I know I need to be supportive.

    The kids named the 3 woodpeckers that come to our feeder Downy, Woody, & Pecker. "Look, there's Pecker. Hi Pecker, hi Woody!" Me- "Can't we change their names?"

      !!! lol!!! Ds had a plastic donkey that he named Honkey. He would tell Honkey to run. He would ask where his Honkey was. It was ridiculous. Dh thought it was hysterical, being Southern, and honkey still being something normal people use as derogatory. No genitals though. Genitals would be a difficult one.
