Nekkid People
Nekkid People
My children have had way too much fun in the past day searching out all the drawings of people without clothing in their history encyclopedia. I remember a certain innocent and shocked fascination with the same sort of things -- especially when one ran across them in National Geographic. Of course, they've also been playing "cave man" today, which involves moving every piece of furniture in the kitchen and morning room, lots of blankets and running around in their underwear.
I have no comment at this time as to whether home schooling has involved much learning today, but it has involved more nekkidness than would be generally allowable outside the house.
Those savages! Maybe you should serve the cavemen some bronto-burgers for supper.
When your children made "finds" in the encyclopedia, did they also treat you to the muffled giggles, shushing, one keeping lookout while the other checks out the "find"? You know, all those subtle signals that they think they're getting away with something.
