The Joy of Homeschooling

Oct. 8, 2007 - Do you need to laugh?

While waiting for my children to finish piano lessons, I had fun reading some cute toddler bloopers. They really tickled me. I hope you enjoy them as well:

My husband's car needed to be serviced and we'd gotten the call that is was ready. I told my 2 year old son, Sean, that we had to go pick up daddy's car. He looked at me and asked, "with our hands?"

One  morning my three year old daughter, Hannah, was watching em get dressed. She pointed to my chest and asked, "What are those?" I told her that they were something that she would have when she got older. She replied, "Oh! I can have those and coffee when I get bigger?"

I have three kids under five, so I drive a minivan to accommodate all the car seats. The 2 younger children set in the second row, and the oldest, Jack, sits in the third row. The other day we were checking out in the grocery store, and the kids were getting antsy. I said, "We're almost done, guys. Then we'll get in the car and drive home." Jack shouted, "Don't make me ride in the trunk again, Mommy?"

My husband, a minister, regularly gives sermons to inmates in prison. One evening when he had gone to preach, I took our three year old daughter. Summer, and I went to see a Disney on Ice Princess shows. When Aladdin got locked in jail for stealing. Summer yelled, excitedly, "Look Aladdin's in jail just like Daddy." 

I was teaching my three year old son, Hunter, how his body digests food. I explained to him that after he eats his food, it comes out of his body when he goes to the bathroom. Later, when he emerged from teh bathroom, he said, "Hey that wasn't pizza!"

One afternoon I was giving my 4year old daughter, Grace, a bath when a tornado siren went off. We needed to get to the basement quickly, so I told Grace to get herself dressed while I grabbed some clothes for her baby brother. She frantically opened her drawer and cried out, "This is no time for underwear!"

My husband brought his boss home fro dinner one night. My four year old son, Joseph, really liked him and wanted him to spend the night. He even offered his toothbrush, pajamas, and bed. My husband's boss said, "I don't think your pajamas will fit me." Joseph replied, "That's okay. You can just sleep in your skin like my daddy does."

My three year old son was drinking orange juice with his grandma one morning when she decided to teach him how to do a toast. She tapped her cup to the side of his and said, "toast". He tapped his cup back and enthusiastically replied, "Bagels!"

I took my five year old son for his check up. The nurse asked him for a urine sample. I explained to my son that he would have to pee in the cup. He looked up at me and asked, "Don't they have a toilet?"

One day my husband and I were shopping. Although I breastfeed my newborn. I brought along a bottle because I am not comfortable nursing in public. When I pulled out the bottle, my four year old started waving her arms and shouted, "No mommy! You're supposed to give the baby your boobies."


**Thanks for the tip about the www.BigOven.com software. I love how I can, with the move of the mouse and a click, plan my week's menu with the in season veggies and fruits. I also love how the software organizes all my ingredients for a quick download on my palm pilot. What a great online software. Thanks, for sharing this with me, ladies.

**Have any of you attended a weekend to remember by Family Life (www.weekendtoremember.com )? It is an awesome couple worshop conference. It is awesome!!! My husband and I went to one and it was a real changing point in our marriage. I think they guarantee that if you marriage doesn't change for the better you get a refund. I can't wait to go again.


P.S. Has anyone found that they like Saxon second edition better than the third edition, or vice  versa? The third edition is much thicker with at least a hundred more pages in it. I kind of like the thorough job of the third edition, but I don't know.....


P.S.S. I am so glad that I made you all smile. Here is the award from ArrowsInOurQuiver. Thanks for the gift.

From what I've heard, most people prefer either of those editions (compared to newer ones).

Thank you so much for the laugh. I love them. I also went to check out the Big Oven. It looks like something I have been looking for for a long time. I will have to check it out. I love that I can make menues, increase receipts. The receipts are way to small now days for our size family. Thank you for the info

Thank you for stopping by my blog for a visit. I'm sorry that the day you stopped by was such a negative posting day.

Thanks for the chuckles. I'm still chuckling over the peeing in the cup situation.

Oh - and keep praying for your neighbor. Sounds like Satan was speaking through your friend on the phone.
