And the three men I admire the most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
What can I say? I'm a traditionalist. I believe that the apples should be peeled before they go into the pie.

I have converted the children to this position, but like all unbelievers, they had to try it out for themselves, first.

In some areas, however, I'm just simply picky. I believe that the produce stickers should be taken off the apples, too.

Today's lesson for your active homeschooler is, When someone tells you to do a chore, you actually do it. You do not read. You do not disappear to your room to play with clay. You do not turn on a book on tape and veg. You do not drift off and look vaguely at the ceiling. You do the job. Theoretically, you do the job the first time you're told, too, although this is admittedly advanced work. Apparently this is a complicated concept, as a result of which I'm going to have achy legs at the end of the day. That's going to be from climbing up on their backs like an elephant's mahout and riding them all the way to the ends of their chores. Anybody got a cattle prod? Giddyap!
