Not From Around Here, Are You?
Stuffed animals are universal (more or less), right? But here is a classic example of Why We Aren’t Quite Average. Other people’s children carry around bears, mice, turtles, etc.
My children carry around:
A marsupial
and
A giant plush representation of a plague virus. And they love them.
I was reading another homeschooler discussion the other day, where the mom was listing different kinds of homeschoolers:
- normal ones,
- mouth-breathing ones,
- gifted ones,
- and “the ones we all think are just plain crazy – come on, everybody knows at least ONE.”
We fall firmly into categories 3 and 4.
