Homeschooling Humor... Ready for a Funny?


I routinely find myself surfing the net for anything that will enrich our homeschooling experience, and well... today I found myself looking for a bit of humor. I typed in "homeschooling jokes" which led me to About.com. No surprise there! It seems like a good 25% of my searches lead me to this trusted source on so many topics, including homeschooling.

About.com didn't let me down. They had a cute little joke I thought my readers might get a kick out of, so I'm sharing it here, along with the link to where I snatched it up!

Homeschooling Joke
Submitted by: Melany Noltenius(a Tennessee homeschool mom)

Q: How does a home schooler change a light bulb?
A: First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. Next, everyone takes a trip to the store here they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed. And there is light.


Now, is that a riot or what? lol
