So you want to homeschool those kids? Yeah, getting the little ones out of bed in the morning and teaching them from 9-3 everyday and experience their intellects growing into Harvard material (not that you could afford Harvard since you had to quit your job to stay home). Idyllic scenes of fresh-washed faces eagerly awaiting your every word as profound verbage drips like honey from your mouth into their sponge-like brains. They will sit at their desks and diagram sentences and memorize multiplication tables and they will respect you and all their elders for eternity, or at least while you are near giving them the "eye".
They will rise at 7 am and make their beds and learn to make a nourishing breakfast, brush their teeth, comb their hair and then sit down to study all that you stayed up late the night before preparing for the great adventure that education will bring them today. You will take the lunch break and teach them to make ants on a log and then send them to the back yard to play games with rules and they will learn not to fight, argue, hit, or scream. Then it's back to the books and reports and educational games until 3 pm and then they have homework to do and you get to go make some dinner with a couple eager little hands that want to help. Dad comes home and you all sit at the table and discuss your day. After dinner and the clean up the children sit down with Dad and he reads to them from a classic and discusses the chapter and then it is time to get ready for bed. Pajamas, brush teeth, lay our tomorrow's clothes have some bedtime stories and get sweetly tucked in by both Mom and Dad.
Aaawwww! So sweet and peaceful. (insert big evil laugh here)
