"But, I don't want to do school today!"

Okay, let's face it!  Despite the fact that homeschooling (for the most part) is much less stressful and loads more fun than other forms of schooling, there ARE occasional days that someone just does not feel up to doing school work or special projects.  You know those days...the sun is shining, the air is fresh, and someone just wants to spend the whole day PLAYING outdoors; or perhaps it is raining, and gloomy, and someone just feels LAZY and wants to curl up on the couch and watch a favorite cartoon instead of doing anything that remotely resembles education.

Well, recently we had one of those days.  My grandbabies arrived.  (Both parents work.)  I fed them breakfast.  Time for school.   My 5 year old (grade K) grandson says to me, "But, I don't want to do school today!"

"We have to do school," I say.

"But, WHY do we have to do school?" he whines.

"Because it's the LAW, and I don't want the police showing up at my door!" I explain.

Without missing a beat, my grandson exclaims, "Then don't answer the door!!!"



He's a little stinker!  LOL !!!
