Good morning class!
Today I would like to enlighten you on the lack of knowledge in my brain. First I shall begin with a story...
It all began one fine Sunday evening, in a cafeteria, at the lovely parish of St. John the Beloved. There was a group of about 10 young adults, talking. The topics ranged from everything under the sun, from Prom to school to food etc... So, while the topic of School was floating around, things were mentioned such as "whiteboard....chalkboard....smart board."
One girl mentioned how all the middle schoolers got to have smart boards, while they only had whiteboards and such things like that. (Also, keep in mind that these lovely teens were mostly from brick and mortar schools from around the area.) So while these conversations are going back and forth, up peeps a little voice, belonging to yours truly:
"wait...what's a smart board?"
Also, another homeschooled blunder of mine:
The bus was late. Yes, it was Sunday, February 24, and a group consisting of about 15 Teens were stranded in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia, waiting for the bus that would never come. It had broken down on the road halfway to the Retreat Center. So....time to kill, what should be done?
Grab the games from downstairs! Quickly the box containing the wonderful game of Taboo was brought up. This game consists of about 200 cards with 1 word written at the top, and then 5 words written below which are "taboo." In pairs, one person has to get the other person to say the word, by describing it using any words except those 5 listed (and the word itself, obviously).
Soo about 8 girls and boys sat at a table, fortified with sugar cookies, and played. Now one girl, a homeschooler, decided to pair up with a certain Public schooler. So they sat across from the table...the timer about to be flipped...working on telepathy.....and START!
"Ohohoh!!! Who lives in a _________ under the sea!!" says the Girl with a life.
...................dead silence from the sheltered-knows-nothing-about-spongebob-homeschooler........
anddddd the whole table erupted in laughter, because every single person at that table knew the answer, except for that little homeschooler turning bright red. :)
