I’m just going to ignore it. For two more weeks at least.

One of my older children had to write a paper and used the word “till” in one of his sentences. This was the following conversation he had with his older sister when she was helping him in his writing process.
Kait: Brother, you can’t use the word “till” in a paper like this. It’s not a real word.
Brother: Oh yeah…
Kait: Yeah.
…
Brother: So what word would I use there?

Clearly I have missed the mark somewhere. To the spelling lists we go.
But not until the day after Labor Day because I’m still on Summer vacation.

I thought ya’ll were unshcoolers? Also what was the name of the umbrella school you used? Of course I’m asking these questions at this time of the year huh?
We unschool while the kids are little. Around nine or ten we start slowly introducing more actual book work. We are members of AEI (alternative education institute) which is considered a private school. Also, do you still want my kitchen table?
Oh, we really need to visit. We are members of Hillcrest Academy Freeschool. I just found it yesterday! It seems to be very similar. I REALLY wish we could visit with you again. I have some questions to ask! Like what kind of book work you do. We would love your table but don’t hold on to it for us. There is no way for us to get it! We still have out table and I think I my cousin is going to give us 3 more chairs. How many chairs do you have? We have 4.
The next time you come to Milton MAYBE we could get together! Are you guys still planning to move back? I wish you would!
We really should get together. We probably won’t be in Milton for a little bit but when I know exactly when we’re coming I’ll make sure to let you know. It’ll be fun.
Our table has 8 chairs but I have no idea how we’d get it to you. Still, you have first dibbs if you want it.
Oops, you slipped and put the brother’s name in the post! Just thought I’d alert you in case you didn’t catch it.
I’m all for waiting till after Labor Day.
See what I did there?

Yikes, good catch. Although it was my one kid who doesn’t mind much when I post embarrassing stories so it was probably okay. Still, thanks for the heads up.
Oh, that last comment was made by me! I didn’t notice Taylor was signed in until after I sent it. But I *am* on his Macbook, so…
Whew, you scared me! I thought my schizophrenic side was finally showing itself…
