Well, she’s obviously not stupid!

We went to see my aunt this week to get our haircuts. While we were waiting for our turn, Breanna took out her knitting.

“Are you knitting?”
“Yes”
“Wow, that’s a lost art! Who taught you that? School??”
“No, my mom”

Later…

“So what school is Breanna going to?”
Smile… Deep breath: “She doesn’t go to school – we homeschool”
“What? YOU teach her at home? How does that work?” (typical question)

So we got into the discussion on how, why, where, how, why, who, how, why and did I mention how and why?

“Well, she’s obviously not stupid if she can learn to knit!”

No kidding! Homeschooling is a lifestyle that we choose because it is the most beneficial for Breanna – not because she’s stupid or out of control, or because we’re just plain weird!
