A reminder for me to chill...
Driving home from a lovely afternoon with friends today, Sprout turned to me and said, "I wish there were lots more children home educated."
Now, me being me, in the time it took me to say, "Why's that dude?" I had already thought the following:
Ohmygodhe'snothappyhewantstoseemorepeoplehewantstogotomoregroupsI'vemisjudgeditI'llgetthecalendaroutwhenwegetinandscheduleinlotsmoregroupsandvisitsandinvitemorepeopleovermoreoftenohgodwhatifhe'smiserableandwantstogotoschoolohbugger.
What he actually answered was, "Because I think it would be nice for more people to have the choice of whether they wanted to go to school or not, and get the chance to do all the cool stuff they enjoy. You know, like we do."
And breathe :D
