Despite our overlapping "readership," I'm going to echo Sarah's referral to a bit of homeschool humor.

If you homeschool, you'll appreciate it. If not, at least you may understand why your homeschooling neighbor seems to be concealing a little wince at certain moments in your conversations.

See Fourteen Days of Homeschooling to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas. A sample:

On the fifth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "YOU ARE SO STRANGE! What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

And the classic How Does a Homeschooler Change a Lightbulb.

That's the kind of homeschooler that makes me want to get in bed with my Sudoku book and hibernate until summer.

Don't we all know at least one?

I've read the first before, but the second was new to me! Hilarious!

With me, it's "Stick in a video to keep them from climbing up my leg while I change the light bulb."
