Homeschool Humor

Life in a homeschool family is anything but boring! Here are a few tidbits to brighten your day.

Mystery Punctuation

My six year old was working diligently on a piece of art she was creating. She stopped and turned to me and asked, “Mom, can you make a mystery mark for me?” “Do you mean a question mark?” “Oh yes!” She exclaimed, “A question mark!” — M.W.

Does God Wear Pants?

My four-year-old sister asked my six-year-old sister, “Is God a boy?” “Yes,” she said quite emphatically. “Does He wear pants?” “Yes,” she said, equally as sure of herself. Talking about learning theology from a six-year-old! — J.D.

Reading Puts You to Sleep …

That afternoon mom couldn’t stay awake while sitting on the couch reading history to us, so I cut a ping pong ball in half, used a marker to draw eyes on it, stuck them over her closed eyes and took a picture. Another time, the moment when mom started to nod while reading historical fiction, one of us asked, “Mom, are you falling asleep?” She replied, “I don’t know how many blue elephants there are in Africa…” — B.K.
