Hey, we live in a great age! We can learn many things just from different websites (or one: Wikipedia ;) ) instead of having to go to the library and check out dozens of books. Of course, lots of homeschoolers do that too!

No, I'm still using my typewriter over here. Oh wait, you can't get on the Internet on a typewriter, can you?

you…you mean, homeschoolers can _adjust to changing times_??! we're not against any kind of interaction with the world? I'm shocked. Next thing you'll tell me we don't have trouble with socialization either.

Oh, and most people ask if we're homeschoolers AFTER we have all socialized and interacted with them. It's so ironic that many people believe we're so unsocialized ;D

But thankfully there are plenty of people who think it's neat when we say we're homeschooled (after they've already guessed it). :)

You might be a homeschooler if… Most of your friends are spread across the country, and you only see them once or twice a year, if that (like at ATI Regionals, Bible Bee, etc.)!

With all these kids who don't like Saxon you'd wonder how they can keep that curriculum in homeschools. :P

More like people with a whole lot of excess PRIDE [like you].

You just might be a homeschooler if your math curriculum follows the adventures of a 6-year-old stick figure named Fred. :-)

…When you have no idea how to correctly pronounce a word because you've read it a thousand times, but never heard it spoken, and the little voice in your head pronounces it a completely different way then normal people do and it could turn into an embarrassing situation if you say the word out loud and nobody knows what you mean cuz what you are saying isn't actually a real word.
