Out of the mouths of teens...

Ok my 14yo ds yesterday was asking me what he was MISSING by being homeschooled instead of going to the public middle school. His replies are in parentheses.

I told him well they have wood shop (Oh I'd like to take that!) but your dad has a great work shop and you could build anything your heart desires and you wouldn't have to wait to use the machines...plus you have a teacher one on one with you teaching. (oh yeah that's right)...

Well they have ceramics (Oh that would be fun) ... but your next door neighbor has a kiln and would be happy to teach you. (ok that works)

Well they have homework (let's don't talk about that ok?)...

And you miss getting your picture in a yearbook...(mom! We don't need yearbooks you make us MONTHLY books!) :thumbup:

So I guess you're ok with this now? (Yeah I'm good)

........so any good lines out of your teenagers??....

Too cute, that's one to add to your book!

I hadn't thought about scrapping that! lol Should I put that in his "every day" book or his school book?

Oh, you should put that into his school book! How cute.

Not sure you want to hear the deep sighs of how stupid my mom is coming out of my teens mouth LOL

and let's not forget the eyerolls and the "look"

Really cute conversation! Really a scrapable moment

He will miss getting slammed into the lockers by upperclassmen =) This figured prominently in my son's freshman year ....

The only thing that ever comes out of my 13 year olds mouth is "where is the food" or "we don't have any food", Even though my fridge is always stocked up. Sigh.
