Because, clearly I need one raising these Smarty Marty kids! We were in the car today and I was minding my own business... thinking about "Mom" things. You know... What should I make for dinner? Why won't that stain come out of my shirt? Is my vacuum cleaner really working as hard as it can? Why does that dog manufacture more hair in one week than an entire village would need to make Semper hair sweaters for EVERYONE? You get the idea, right?
I was pulled from my mundane stupor by an itty bitty sweet voice... "Mom, what are your thoughts on the Pangea Age?"
My internal ramblings quickly sped up as I set into a special mode of panic.
"DUH......"
"WHHAAAAAAT????"
"How can I fake this and pull off something that sounds reasonable? She is going to think I'm a moron. I have ZERO clue what she is talking about and why I should have any particular thoughts regarding the matter. But, then again, there was a time when essay questions were my absolute favorite and I had gotten quite good at saying nothing in a way that sounded intelligent and fooled my teachers....."
But in the end I knew I had to fess up. I giggled and told her "I suppose I have no thoughts on the matter as I have no clue what you are talking about. So... what are you talking about?" ;)
(Just in case you don't know, you can find the answer here. Don't worry. I won't judge you.)

This is awesome. Was this Amelia? Guess you'd better start reading your encyclopedia a bit more. =)
Oh, guess I never mentioned who it was! ;) It was Abby. I could have pulled the wool over Amelia's eyes without much difficulty or guilt. You know.... "LOOK! A BIRD!" :D
The real question is where did the information come from if not from the homeschooling lessons. Bad teacher...bad ;)
