When my kids were babies, one of my cousins asked where we’d be sending them to school. I replied ‘we’ll homeschool’. Her retort was along the lines of ‘well, we thought about that but decided we’d rather OUR children be POPULAR’.
Well now. The ‘popular’ oldest girl is due any day now. She’s not 18 yet and no one is sure who the baby’s father is. This is an intact home and the kids are front and center at church every single sunday. Mom is a housewife who could have easily homeschooled. But as it turns out, these days the ‘popular’ kids are the one most ‘Kardashian’ like. And if you’re ‘proud’ that your kid runs with the popular crowd you’d better start spying. Because I can guarantee they’re up to no good. It’s Caligula’s barge out there.
We’ll pass on that sort of popular. Thanks anyways.
