JABarney Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 At breakfast this AM while my ds is reading the cereal box: "Mom, we shouldn't do school today because it will higher your cholesterol" -ds age 6 (Some days he just may be right. Homeschooling is not for the faint at heart):lol: your turn.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ha! This is too funny! What a cute little one you have. We're off this week because it's my ds9's birthday week. We schedule a week off for each boy's birthday. We do fun stuff like extra museum trips and I also get caught up on projects. Anyway.... My little one said that we needed to have more kids in our family so we could have more weeks off. Ha! That's a new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, he may be on the right track.... I don't think it affects my cholesterol, but it definitely raises my blood pressure at times:001_smile: My 5 year old dd was watching the news with me last week and was interested to learn that schools close when swine flu is suspected. She instantly wanted to know if she would get days off if our local sd had to shut down. You've got to love how those young minds work!

Tree House Academy Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 My kids constantly nag me about why we can't get out of school for snow. Ummm...because there will be plenty of snow after you finish your lessons...now get to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABarney Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I love reading the replies... maybe this was not a popular title considering the other thread about homeschoolers lowering standards..... if I could edit the title I would add "humor" to the end of it.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Don't worry about it, you live in the real world where humor is appreciated!! Mine got a real kick out of Paris Hilton's comment on the swine flu. If you missed it, someone asked if she was concerned about it and she replied, "No, I don't eat that." LOL Now, when we eat any pork, my dc's think we need the day off to keep from spreading the swine flu around. I'm just glad they think at a higher level than Paris. At my house, we have two birthdays this week so we are doing "fun school" things and wrapping up some 4-H presentations, history, etc. We are watching some videos I never worked into the schedule but wanted them to watch. Gotta go cook some bacon now..... Just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I had massive allergies earlier this spring. I walked around in a zone for several days. I wasn't sick, just kind of spacey. My blessed ds, who was SO concerned about me, would come up and pat me on the back and say "If you don't feel good I guess we should skip school." :lol::lol: Then he'd smile so sweetly, which changed to frown as soon as I said no.

PinkInTheBlue Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mine told me that since the Dallas area schools were closed that we should close too. ;) I think they were fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My kids are coming up with all sorts of excuses this week since our public schools are closed right now due to the swine flu scare. Must... be.... strong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'll add one more. Where we used to live I used to let ds have off for public school snow days. That way he could play with his friends and enjoy the snow. We have moved to where it doesn't snow. Except...you know it's coming...this year it snowed so of course he begged to have the day off. He went out and made snow angels and snowballs and dh took off the day too. We went out as a family and the snow was gone by noon, but it was fun to take off for that day.
