A Top Ten Questions Video by Homegrown Kids! 

 Today's Top Ten topic at the iHomeschool Network is "Top 10 Questions People Ask You".   

For some reason, my kids have noticed lately that people ask THEM the same questions over and over.   In talking about today's post (I do consult my kids a lot with blogging... it's a family affair, really!), my daughter thought listing all the "duh" questions they get might be funny.

I agree.

You know, for people totally NOT involved in the homeschool world, homeschooling is a strange concept.

 

 

There are a lot of questions, and sometimes I think those questions are born out of curiosity, lack of knowledge, and just not knowing what to say.

The questions are valid ones... but if you homeschool your children you realize that they are asked over and over again, and (especially to a child who has never gone to school) they start to get OLD!  

I asked some of those very same questions before we started homeschooling, so when I call these "Duh" questions I simply mean my kids get them over and over and the answers (to them) are really quite simple! 

What better way to share the questions than a video?  

I take NO CREDIT for this video or the idea behind it.   I just love my sweet kids and their creative and silly spirits.   

Enjoy!

 

 

If you just want a good laugh, then you want to watch this video from Blimey Cow - Seven Lies About Homeschooling.  It goes right along with our topic today of questions people ask homeschoolers.

Oh we love Blimey Cow.... and my son rolls his eyes when asked if he has friends. Very cute video!

Those are the cutest kids ever! And that Blimey Cow video is so funny. I hadn't seen him before. LOL

First of all we love Blimey Cow too. Great stuff. There are so many cool, smart homeschoolers on YouTube.

Second of all, I just want to kidnap your son for about a day. Is he hysterical or what? Boys are such different creatures aren't they? And Anna is so poised and grown up. They both did an outstanding job. Keilee gets tired of these questions too. She hates the one, "What do you do all day?" and the people who 'quiz' her. My brother is VERY bad about doing this and it always makes me mad. LOVE the way you did this Top 10! One of my favorites of all Mary.

Oh my gosh...what a cute video Mary :) The same questions would be on our list! By the way, blogging is very much a family affair for us, too.
