You know you live in a homeschooling house when..

1. Your mom teaches your siblings the correct spelling of curse words because she can't have the kids spelling them incorrectly. "Just because they can't say those words doesn't mean they can't know how to spell them correctly."

2. The kids think that "faggot" is an element on the periodic table of the elements.

3. You get milkshakes as a surprise when you find all your "president coloring sheets".

4. EVERY place we go is considered a "field trip".

5. Your parents call your house "(last name) academy" and want you to answer the phone that way as well. (ie Good afternoon, (last name) academy, this is ___ speaking") and they think its hysterical.

6. When your mom gets together with friends, they only talk about school stuff. So much for the juicy gossip.

7. People ask you constantly- "Do you have friends?", "Will your parents homeschool you through college?", "Are you sheltered?"*

8. You see your little sister playing with stuffed animals and she says, "What? I'm Laura Welch Bush, ya'know the president's wife. She loved reading to her stuffed animals."

9. Instead of knowing the popular songs, we know history put INTO a song. Don't ask.

10. And last but not least-Its like Christmas morning when your NEW school books arrive. Never I have seen MY MOM more excited.

*Those are not the only questions you get on a daily basis. More include: "Do you wear your pajamas to school?", "Have you ever had a boyfriend?", "Are you allowed to wear pants?" (????). plus many more that i'm to lazy to think of or type.

Thanks for reading

Hilarious, Sydney. I would love to hear the rest of the strange questions people ask. Do you ever just say, "Hey, mind your own business!"

I don't think we're in any danger of being referred to as the Mills Academy, but I can hear Acacia saying, "Mills Loony Bin, Acacia speaking."
