Post #8: Myth Number Three

  Homeschool Myth Number Three: Homeschoolers DO NOT know how to have fun.  Yeah, we may not "get out" as much as the average family because we do not head to a school building every morning (then again, you may be surprised at how much some of us do "get out", e.g. it is a rare day when my family is home all day long...), but that does not mean we have any trouble having fun or laughing.  In fact, my sisters, friends, and I make so many jokes about being homeschooled that we probably poke more fun at ourselves than anyone outside observing would!  Our favorite comedian, Tim Hawkins, is an absolute pro at what he does, and he is extremely hilarious!  You should definitely check out his website or YouTube channel--especially if you want to laugh so hard you cry!  Believe it or not, Tim Hawkins actually currently homeschools his four kids.  Due to this bit of trivia, he has several bits on homeschooling that are hilarious and has even written some parody songs on homeschooling that I have posted in this post.  He relates mostly to the segment of the population that holds more conservative viewpoints, but I believe that almost anyone can find his down-to-earth humor amusing.  Seriously, he is great, and he is really so good that I am privileged enough to be able to watch him tonight in concert in Raytown, Missouri!  Ah, I'm so excited!!  My family has been to one of his concerts before, and we were rolling nearly the entire time and raving for weeks afterward.  Anyway, please feel free to watch the attached videos on homeschooling--you won't regret it!!
