ValkyrieMom Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) My DS4 and I were just rapping to the Vowel rhyme song in Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading. Had us laughing so hard. The other day DD9 applied Latin vowels to an English word--I'll post it when I can remember it...something about a rear-end...My husband nearly crashed the car he was laughing so hard. Got a funny curriculum saying, or moment? How are you making it fun? Edited October 7, 2009 by ValkyrieMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 This one is not hilarious, but something funny my dd7 said the other day went like this: We were on a field trip to a local history museum. They were having a "homeschool day," so everyone there that day was a homeschool family. They handed out a scavenger hunt to each family to answer questions from the musuem. One room of the museum was set up as a one room school house, complete with old fashioned desks. The question for the room said, "How are these desks different from the school desks you use?" My dd answered, "Well, it is a desk, not a kitchen table." Cracked me up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a funny curriculum saying, or moment? How are you making it fun? I was asking history questions out loud and my children were answering. My son yelled out an answer that was supposed to be Qin Shi Huang, but he was totally serious and yelled, "Ching Ding?" We all burst into laughter and it has become a family "funny." It is moments like that that make the day. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurelia Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 My daughter had recently had a "lesson" in how a public school day went (must stay in your seat, no talking, raise your hand, wait in line, etc) and was talking with a friend who is in PS. Her friend, very proudly, told her she was in "real school." Ariel, with a look of deepest sympathy, gave her a hug and said "I'm so sorry."

ValkyrieMom Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Oh my, I am wiping "tears" from my eyes. Your kids are adorable! My kids are asking me "What's going on mommy?" while I sit here and laugh. It's moments like these when I know I'm doing the most important thing in the world. My DH is talking about taking a second job so we can afford more HS stuff (like a microscope) and I just think I am so blessed to be doing this.

That'd go off like a bucket of prawns in the sun! :D Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethben Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 When ds was in 1st grade, we were doing math and it was a little tough. He said "Call me a cab and get me out of here!" I have no idea where he got that one since we live in a small town and there is no real cab service to speak of. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Last year my ds6 was taking Taekwondo. He just kept calling it Karate and we were explaining to him that it was a form of Karate, etc. So he says, "Is Taekwondo Latin for Karate?" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
