First Day Humor

8 August, 2011; Filed Under: homeschool

We survived our first day of the homeschool year, and I just had to share a humorous highlight.

At some point during the day, I was standing by my spot at the table and Kathryn came back from the kitchen with a grin on her face and her hands behind her back. She said, “Hey, Teacher! This is as close as I can get to an apple.” And she proceeded to plunk down one of our homegrown tomatoes on my desk.

Quite a funny girl, that one.
I’m glad I get to spend my days with her.

Yippee! First days can feel awkward even when you know the teacher. My daughter gave me a cucumber on our first day this year.

A cucumber? That’s even funnier than a tomato!

I’d happily except the homegrown tomato over the apple. Yum!!! I’m going to be so sad when I have to use store bought tomatoes again.
