On the list of the weirdest things I've said:

"Kristi, why are you flossing Nathan's toes?"

Learnin’ ‘em right!

We're learnin' them right at Scrivnerburg Academy. Test review question: Who was the general commanding 8,000 men who was sent against Quebec?
"Oh! I know - General James Bond!"

Hmmm…are they getting this?

Preparing for a test at Scrivnerburg Academy:
Mom - "What two materials were used to make linsey-woolsey fabric?"
Nathan - "Wool."
Mom - "And...?"
Kristi - "Wildcat."
...
Mom - "Okay - what material was used for the 'LINSEY' part of 'linsey-woolsey?"
3 kids - "Thread."
(at the same time) Austin - "Eisenberg."
Hmmm...for some reason I'm thinking no one is getting this lesson.

 

(And just in case you don’t know, it was linen and wool, as the name would suggest.)
