You know you are homeschooled (or unschooled) when....

An essay by Margaret | 6/21/2007

.... You over-analyze and observe kids that go to school.

.... Whenever you go to the school playground you look in the windows of the school.

.... You always have at least one book in the bathroom ranging from picture books to dictionaries.

.... You are over protective of your younger siblings.

.... You know your library card number by heart.

.... Your reading goal for the annual summer reading club at your library is 50 or higher.

.... You can wear the same clothes for 3 days in a row and nobody will bug you about it (for example: my little sister and her pink skirt that she will die if she takes it off).

.... You have many small meals through out the day, for example breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper, then dessert and a quick bedtime snack.

.... All of the kids in your family, including the one year old, know about the evil prison *aka: school* where they chain you to desks and feed you vile, poisonous food. :)

.... When you find a weird, scary bug instead of killing it you catch it, and put it in the freezer so you can pin it to styrofoam later.

.... How to clean your room is considered a whole day's school work.

.... You never know when school lets out for summer, or when spring break is (what is that? just kidding :)

Haha! That really made me laugh! And i so totally know my library card number by heart! And i liked that part about breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper. . .
I thought that was a nice touch (i am a major LOTR freak).

Those are SO true. And exactly what I do, too. Except for the tenth one, the bug one.
Lol, those were great!

Tamerah | Sun, 07/15/2007 - 2:51am

I would get confused and put in the wrong number! I basically do all my library stuff online so i can't just scan the card.
You know whats amazing, i have never moved in my entire life!

I like it a lot!

I have to say "Guilty" to all of 'em.... even the bug one, though those are all found out in the desert, then hot glue gunned into my beetle case.

And if you finish your school work before the kids at school get home.

That is HILARIOUS! You should make more like that.:D

I'm like the one where you said about wearing the same clothes for three days! My friend and I are homeschooled so we relate to everything you just said!

Ya, that was hillarious, and so true!
I really liked the part about one days schoolwork is cleaning your room.
