patchfire Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We were listening to the radio a week or two ago when a song from Grease came on. My oldest asked where it was from. I replied Grease, she nodded, and we went on... I thought. After about 20 seconds, ds piped up, "It's been translated, of course!" Because, clearly, if it was from *Greece*, it should've been in Greek! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicalTwins Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 One of my sons will tell anyone who will listen. Usually the conversation goes like this I don't go to school. I do school at home. My daddy use to work but he doesn't any more. My mommy works all the time. Sounds so sad from him...the real story is Mommy & Daddy own their own business. Mom is a consultant and a nurse, who goes to the client sites to do whatever is needed with their computer systems. Daddy quit his job to be a stay home dad so the kids didn't have to go to day care, because mom can make a lot more money than he. But the way the kids tell it people look at them like their is a financial and lazy dad at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I love the child who answered, "Anno domini!" Fabulous! When my dd was in public school last semester ( and then I finally actually listened to the Almighty and brought my kids back home for schooling :D ) she had a Social Studies teacher from Armenia. This woman is wonderful and was giving those 6th graders probably the best Social Studies/Geography lessons they'd ever had. She started in the Fertile Crescent and by December she had started the students on Ancient Egypt. Somewhere in that semester she was teaching her students about Mesopotamia. She was so surprised (and pleased!) that my daughter was the only student who could answer her questions, correctly, about Mesopotamia at the beginning of the unit! I told her, "She should know the answers since we've studied it twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am crying here. :lol: I will never listen to a Grease song again without thinking about this. :D This isn't exactly the same thing, but still makes me laugh...DS is learning about the Presidents (more like OBSESSED with them) and we watched a documentary the other day from the history channel. It had a bit of information about each President. While talking about Grover Cleveland, it mentioned that he had skeletons in his closet (because he apparently had a child out of wedlock, which wasn't exactly explained). Anyway, a few hours later when DH got home DS was telling him about the things he learned and he said, "Daddy, did you know that Grover Cleveland kept bones in his closet?" :lol: Hilarious. I love kids. They crack me up. This is the best thread. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 :lol: I think you could peg mine because they don't know who Justin Bieber is. I must be homeschooled, too. Some of my favorites: Bringing his mummy to a 4th of July party. Telling a man who said he couldn't resist something to try being strapped to the mast. Screaming "Humbaba" in wild recognition (age 4) in the ancients section at the art museum. Running screaming from a little girl in at the park with VERY corkscrewed red hair (he was being silly) "Medusa, Medusa!" Shouting "It's a Turner seascape" at the new Getty. Asking for a pink Jeep as a birthday cake because "some boys are afraid of pink, but I'm braver than that." Saying "Thera! Thera blew up and there went the Minoans" with gestures at the old Getty. Running from the pantry with a can of Campbell's tomato soup shouting "Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol" Saying "Great borborygmi" when a nurse laid his hand on her gravid belly to feel her baby kicking. (age 4) Looking up at me with wonder and delight in a store where a Brandenberg just started playing and saying "Bach" (age 2) And the winner is, coming down from watching TV at a party for grown ups after only twenty minutes and saying "It is some guy who thinks he's a sponge and he's BORING".

jewellsmommy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) My dd's thing is educating people on parasites. She loves science and she loves to watch the show Monsters Inside Me. She tries to diagnose everyone with one parasite or another. Well, she accidentally got one right when someone we knew actually contracted Malaria. Dd felt completely vindicated that someone finally had a parasite. When everyone else in the church is saying "oh gosh, I hope your husband gets well soon," my dd is all "yesss, I knew he had a parasite! He was looking a little yellow last time we saw him." :blushing: :eek: Unfortunately tact is not covered in any of the curricula I use. eta: It was touching, though, that after she was told to "tone down her glee" that she comforted the wife with "At least its not a brain-eating amoeba from Florida."
