Ok, I decided it has been a bit too serious around this blog for a bit too long.

So at dinner tonight, I asked everyone to help me come up with something funny to post.  Well, my husband heard a joke today on the radio and he passed it on to us:

"What is Arnold Schwartzenegger (however that is spelled)'s next career going to be?" 

To which one child asks "who is Arnold---what was his name again?"

So Dad says "He's the Governor of California."

Another kid asks "what was his job before?"

Dad answers "He used to be an actor."

(The joke could have ended there, but I will go on.)

So Dad says "He is going to be a music composer."

"He is always saying "I'll Be Bach!"

*******************************

So..........lets see, then we were talking about all the cute things that the kids said where they were little.  Our dear youngest used to think everything we ate was "chicken."  She called bacon "chicken" and beef "chicken" and you get the idea.

So when Daddy went hunting and got his elk, and was in the process of ......er, processing it, little Essie said "daddy, are you taking the chicken out of the elk???"

Now, since we have been on the subject of unschooling lately, here are some unschooling jokes for ya!  Ready??

How many unschoolers does it take to change a light bulb?

Dad:  "We don't have any dim-bulbs around here!"

Mom:  "Well, of course the parents take care of it until the children are ready to learn how to change the bulb.  It's a readiness issue."

Blonde Child #1:  "What's a light bulb?"

Delight Directed:  "If the child has shown an aptitude or interest in the light bulb, we will let him change it by himself!"

Unit Study :  "First we will go to the library and check out some books, then.......you know the rest of this one :)"

Charlotte Mason:  "If the light bulbs go out, we will just play outside all day!"

Classical:  "Hark, what lightbulb in yonder ceiling breaks!"

 Moore Method:  "We will wait until the child is tall enough to reach the lightbulb."

Textbook Method:  "We haven't done that chapter yet!"

Blonde Boy Child:  "First you let it grow." 

Mom:  "What??" 

Blonde Boy Child:  "The Plant."   

Mom:  "What plant?"

Blonde Boy Child:  "Isn't there a plant called a bulb?" 

Mom:  "Ahhhh, isn't he the smartest thing???!!!  That's my smart little sweet thing, give me high five!"

Prinicple Approach:  Jesus said; "I am the light of the world."

So I say, Who needs light bulbs!?

Let me know if you can come up with any more, ok???  Post 'em in the comments!
