Blueridge Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Top 10 Things NOT to say when asked "What?! No school today?" 10. Well normally yes, but this time of year I need help with the planting and plowing. 9. Goodness, no!!! I graduated 18 years ago, but thanks for the compliment! 8. No, we homeschool. We're just out to pick up a bag of pork rinds and some Mountain Dew, then we gotta hurry home to catch our soaps. 7. What?! Where did you guys come from?! Oh my gosh! I thought I told you kids to stay at school! I'm sorry. This happens all the time. (sigh) 6. There isn't? Why, you'd think we would have seen more kids out then, don't you? 5. We're on a field trip studying human nature's intrusive and assumptive tactics of displaying ignorance and implied superiority. Thanks for the peek! 4. On our planet we have different methods of education. (Shhh! No, I didn't give it away... keep your antennae down!) 3. Oh my goodness! I thought that today was Saturday...come on kids, hurry! 2. Noooooope.Me 'n Bubba jes' learns 'em at home. Werks reel good! And the number one answer we should NEVER give to the question: "What? No school today?" 1. "What? No Bingo today?" And please accept my apologies if these sassy comments offend. But the 'Me and Bubba' one just left me rolling...:lol: Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hilarious. My favorite reply that I've used is "No we're done for the day." and then smile and let them wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 10. Well normally yes, but this time of year I need help with the planting and plowing. Yesterday they helped me with planting and plowing :001_smile: 9. Goodness, no!!! I graduated 18 years ago, but thanks for the compliment! I like this! Actually, it seems more like something you SHOULD say! 8. No, we homeschool. We're just out to pick up a bag of pork rinds and some Mountain Dew, then we gotta hurry home to catch our soaps. Thought this was the funniest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkacademy Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My daughter at 11 was very sick of the why aren't you in school today remarks. So my sweet loving child turned the tables. We were at walmart in the checkout isle when an elderly woman said in a very rude tone that children should be in school. Looked at my daughter dirty looks too and asked why aren't you at school? So she turned around with a big smile on her face in a very respectable tone said I will answer you when you tell me why you are not at work!!!

Pajama Mama Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 You could look at your kids in a very confused way and say, "Who are you people!?! I told you to stop following me!!!" Or "I'm sorry-what kids? I don't see anyone here except you and me. Are you feeling well ma'am?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCoppock Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I will answer you when you tell me why you are not at work!!! I always smile and answer we homeschool but this is always in my mind. I had a guy at a restaurant the other day say VERY LOUDLY, "We never got to go to XYZ when I was in school." I ignored him because he seemed drunk and it was only noon. Guess it wouldn't have mattered if his parents kept him at home or not. He was clearly not using his education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 True story: I was out with Diva, and this guy came up to us and DEMANDED to know why she wasn't in school. :glare: I cocked my head and looked at him puzzled, over at Diva, and back at him again. Didn't say anything, just stared at him, until he asked, "What?!" and I replied, "Sorry, I was trying to figure out what wormhole we fell through that in this reality I'm married to you." and continued to look at him puzzled til he walked away.

SeekingSimplicity Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My dd went to K in public school, of course at the end of the year they had a graduation.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I ask to see their truant officer license. Actually, I've only done that once. To the docent at a museum (of all places!) who confronted ds (6 at the time) and grilled him about why he wasn't at school. Umm. . . because he decided to play hookey and go to a museum instead?:confused::D with his mom?:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
