I Really Love My Odd Family

How I pity all those other mothers, sitting through long and boring band concerts or perhaps enduring the hard bleachers and wondering when to cheer at track meets --("How many laps does it take to make 2 miles, and which one are we on?") -- all in the name of encouraging perseverance and excellence in their children. I can offer encouragement to John and Leah by pulling up my computer chair and ... genuinely laughing. They made this video on "Odd Food Combinations" for an online contest, hired a pricey voice man to do the narration (and won.) Ah, another victory for homeschooling.

Oh, I got that Mrs. Rabe, and my mother better not have said that. ;-)

No, I promise I didn't mean your mom. Those were actually just fictitious events, although I do remember my own parents looking rather glazed over after waiting through five or six bands and then five or six choruses to hear one of us.

Although, I do remember distinctly your mom and I both snoring in the middle of a marathon, impromptu play that you and Leah put on -- purely to avoid going home! Do you remember that?
