Best replies to “What? No school today?”
I just got this from Queengirl over my LJ version of this blog! Too funny! I’m going to put it below the cut so the LJers who already saw it can go ahead and skip it (my favorites are 9, 7 & 3):
Top Ten answers you should NEVER give when out and about and asked, “What? No school today?”
10. Well normally yes, but this time of year I need help with the planting
and plowing.
9. Goodness, no!!! I graduated 18 years ago, but thanks for the compliment!
8. No, we homeschool. We’re just out to pick up a bag of pork rinds and some
Mountain Dew, then we gotta hurry home to catch our soaps.
7. What?! Where did you guys come from?! I thought I told you to stay at
school! I’m sorry. This happens all the time. (sigh)
6. There isn’t? Why, you’d think we’d see more kids out then, don’t you?
5. We’re on a field trip studying human nature’s intrusive and assumptive
tactics of displaying ignorance and implied superiority. Thanks for the
peek!
4. On our planet we have different methods of education. (Shhh! No, I didn’t
give it away… keep your antennae down!)
3. Oh my goodness! I thought that today was Saturday…come on kids, hurry!
2. Noooooope. Me ‘n Bubba jes’ learns ‘em at home. Werks reel good!
And the number one answer we should NEVER give to the question: “What? No
school today?”
1. “What? No Bingo today?”
Those are just so damn cute!
Holy crap. I want to homeschool just to use these.
Normally this question is directed at our children who always cheerfully reply, “We homeschool!” I’m usually on hand to add, “.. and isn’t it great!” If they continue I then ask them if they homeschool. Naturally they don’t, but I act surprised and then grill them on how they could possibly send the kids away ALL DAY and all that homework and poor socialization and time contraints … and so on. It’s kinda fun.
I linked to your list at Bruggie Tales. Cheers.
Hah! I *do* homeschool, and me and Bubba, we’s gwina use em all!
