Your four-year old comments, in comparing the wisdom and diligence of the Three Little Pigs, that the pig who built the straw house went to public school, while the one who built the brick house was home schooled! I never really noticed that aspect of the story before...

Your child is walking the dog (holding the leash) with one hand and holding an open book to read in the other hand.

When your son plans his outings to the skate park during school hours since it isn't as crowded.

When the lady who runs the lunches at the Senior Center calls to have one of your older kids come and help.. from 11-1:30 on a Wednesday.

When you're on your way to church and cross over a huge truss bridge set over the Potomac River and one son announces he can easily jump off the bridge and live as he is reading Worse Case Scenario Handbook. Older brother quickly counters with "No you can't, we haven't reviewed it yet."

My children plan all outings between 9-2 pm for this exact reason. When we went to a VERY crowded water park one Saturday, my oldest turned to her sister and said "Guess, we'll try this again during the week!"
HAHAHA!

When you hand your child a carton of milk from the pizza place at the mall and she just looks at you like "um, what am I supposed to do with this??"

when your 8 yo uses his break from lessons to play chess with his 4yo sister (and doesn't mind when she doesn't EXACTLY follow the rules).
(I am loving these, btw. thanks for brightening my morning!)

When your 8 year old son asks his best friend (a school kid), with great relish, "Has your mom ever read you Beowulf?"

When you discover that your children don't know how to skip rocks...and use that day's PE and nature study time to remedy the situation.
It's one of my happiest homeschool memories - we had such fun!

I just thought of another one:
When your children sit in awe in the school bus that transported them from the parking lot to the base for the Air show.
All they talked about with the other home schooled kids for days was about "taking the school bus"

Aw, Nancy. Can you teach me to skip rocks? Both my husband and dad know how, but try as I might, I never got the hang of it.
While you're at it, I could never get whistling either...

Well, whistling may be something that you can't do. My husband can't and neither can my oldest daughter. My oldest son can whistle enough to drive us all batty.
