Yes. Everybody thinks that's a lot of children…but it's really not.

I don't think that is a lot of children.
Of course, I am not everybody.
biblebee
Well, I meant most everybody xP

You know you are a homeschooler when you read logic books for fun.
biblebee

and the Dictionary.
and the Thesaurus.
And Wikipedia…wait. That's an online resource! What is the world of Homeschooling coming to???
biblebee
and Encyclopedias

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!
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
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.

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

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.)!
God's Maiden of Virtue
Yes, very, very true! =) (Though, I have plenty of friends nearby as well)
