Remember when it was too hard for me to leave the house with the boys?
Then covid hit and we haven't really tried.
Today we went to the dentist. Afterwards, the receptionist remarked, "You have really well behaved children."
Then she asked if they were homeschooled. "I saw you giving a lesson and I almost wanted to join in!"
She said it seems to her that homeschooled children have an easier time sitting still.
I said not really in the younger years, but in the older years not having to sit in school for so many hours does make it easier for them to sit.
When I conveyed the nachas to the children, Elazar said, "Give a lesson? You weren't giving a lesson. We were asking questions and you were answering them."
They were quizzing me about the stock market crash, the Great Depression, and I was explaining how WWII helped end the depression, and then Jack had some questions on why there is the Illuminati eye and a pyramid on the dollar bill.
And Elazar said, "I don't have an easier time sitting still." Which is true enough. But he did sit (well, pace quietly enough) while we were waiting.
