While sorting laundry in the laundry room, I hear my three oldest children playing a game in the playroom. For each letter of the alphabet, they name a food. The following conversation begins:
Reagan: P. People.
Mom: Reagan, we do NOT eat people!
Reagan: Cannibals do.
Mom: We are NOT cannibals!
Reagan: But you were singing "I eat cannibals"!
Mom: But we clarified, remember? I eat animal cannibals.
Piper: With Dannimals.
Bridget: On toast!
Me: See? We don't eat people! And when the police come one day to ask me, I'm going to tell that that I taught you better.
Piper: Yeah, Reagan. You can't be a cannibal.
Bridget: Yeah. That's bad.
So there. A complete home education with the lesson against cannibalism. I think I can hang up my teachers hat confident in a full days' work.
