If my kids went to school....

If my kids went to school..... I could go to the grocery store alone. I would not have to answer a zillion questions. Can I get this? can I get that? what are we here for,? If we are good can I get something? How much does that cost? Where are we going next? Are we done yet? When can we go home? Can we stop at McDonald's? What else do we need?

If my kids went to school.... I wouldn't get bruised ankles from my kids attempts to run me over with the grocery cart while they are racing them through the store.

If my kids went to school..... I could go to the doctor alone without having another rally of questions. What are we doing here? What is that? How much longer is this going to take? When is the doctor coming in? Are we going anywhere else? Can we leave yet? Can we stop at McDonald's on the way home? Are we going anywhere else? Where is the doctor at? Why isn't he coming in yet? Can I play with this? What is this? Why can't I play with it? (now i do bring things for my kids to do, however the questions always seem so much more fun to my kids)

If my kids went to school... I would be able to eat my own lunch.... the whole thing!

If my kids went to school..... Who would go to the park with me on the way home and ask me a zillion questions? What is this? Can we go over there? Can we look this up when we get home? Are we going anywhere else? I want to go over there, can we? Can we stay longer? Can we go over there now? Look at that! What is that? Look at this mom, look at that mom. Did you hear that? What was it? Feel this mom, isn't it neat? What is it? What is that smell? EEwww it is a skunk, why do they smell so bad?

If my kids went to school..... Who would want to help me fix lunches then turn my kitchen into a science lab? Who would want to bake cookies with me and learn about math and science? Who would help me cut out letter cookies so we can eat our spelling words later? Who would help me eat those spelling words?

If my kids went to school.... Who would would *teach me* something new every day? Who would *help me* look up all the answers to all their questions at the park? What would they learn inside that brick building all day long? Who would they ask all these questions to? Who would answer them? Would my kids even have all these questions?

If my kids went to school.... they would have to sit in a hard seat at a cold desk all day and not be allowed or have the opportunity to ask questions or talk. They would not have the chance to explore the world around them and think up a zillion questions.
