What a merry feast they must have had with all those large chickens. :D I think we've all had "pilgrims and pirates" moments. Or at least I certainly have...lots of them.

In June. Who doesn't have eggnog for their...summer solstice parties? [shrug] I swear our kids will eventually drive us all barking mad, and we'll sit in rocking chairs in our old age, insisting that Thanksgiving is the day we kill a huge chicken to celebrate the pirates breaking bread with the pilgrims.

I now have a visual of the pilgrims and pirates sitting down together for a big feast. Hahahaha! It's just a hoot reading your stories. I can't imagine what you DON'T tell us!! :o) Okay, I’m still laughing at the 2nd sentence. I now have a visual of the pilgrims and pirates sitting down together for a big feast. Hahahaha!

My youngest son asked a question the other day about volcanoes. I went into this big drawn out discussion about lava and PLASMA. Thank God my eldest son was in there to correct me. He was gracious enough to say, "um, mom, I think you're trying to say magma". The teacher has become the student! The funniest hs story I have is when I went to VN the first time. My kids came with me to the airport when I left. My older son was upset and turned to my friend and said all teary-eyed, "I hope nothing happens to my mother". I thought this was a great testament of his love for me until he finished his statement, "She homeschools us. If she dies, we'll grow up to be idiots!" hahaha!!!
