Home Schooling

Most older folk were home schooled, as well as actually attending a school…

Our mothers taught us TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE: \”If you\’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.\”

Our fathers taught us RELIGION: \”You better pray that that will come out of the carpet.\”

Our mothers taught us LOGIC: \”If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you\’re not going to the shops with me.\”

Our fathers taught us MORE LOGIC: \”Because I said so, that\’s why.\”

Our mothers taught us about CONTORTIONISM : \”Just you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!\”

Our fathers taught us about the science of OSMOSIS: \”Shut your mouth and eat your supper.\”

Our mothers taught us about BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION: \”Stop acting like your father!\”

Our fathers taught us about ANTICIPATION: \”Just wait until we get home.\”

Our mothers taught us about ESP: \”Put your sweater on; don\’t you think I know when you are cold?\”

And finally, our fathers taught us about JUSTICE: \”One day you\’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!\”
