My mom sent me this one in the email today: Thought it was too funny… but it’s sort of ironic… since we just got a dog last night and we’ve never asked the second question. 2 questions… 1.) Should I get a dog…? Or. 2.) Should I have children?….

This, from Anne Zeise’s A to Z Home’s Cool Homeschooling: (Yes, you’ll probably attempt to sing it. Yep, I know… I did, too.) 14 Days of Homeschooling To the tune of “Twelve Days of Christmas.” On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can you homeschool legally?” On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?” On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?” On the fourth day of homeschool my neighbor said…
