Ah, yes. Family outings. Doing things with kids.
I remember an old Hi and Lois cartoon where the husband comes home and asks the wife, “What did you to today?” (The wife looks totally wiped out.)
The wife replies, “We wrote Grandmother.”
“Oh, that’s nice, did you write her a nice long letter?”
“No letter, we just wrote ‘Grandmother.’” At this point the drawing shows a completely chaotic room with the word ‘Grandmother’ scrawled on a piece of paper.
LOL! The joys of homeschool.
When things got nutz, school would go outdoors; maybe on a hike, but preferably to a tree-studded park where kids could go berserk and “educators” could sip iced tea in the shade.
