Why we won’t homeschool Reason #875927
Sunday night Mark and Atticus were having a discussion about dinosaurs.
He insisted that this creature was a Triceratops…
WRONG! This is a Triceratops. Honest mistake since we aren’t paleontologists.
Then he started telling Atticus about this creature:
Clearly it’s a T-Rex.
Mark insists that it’s a Sphinctersaurus. Sphincter for short.
The following conversation occurred:
Me: Ummm. How about a T-Rex?
M: What are you smoking? This is totally a Sphincter and that other one is a Triceratops.
Me: Haven’t you see Jurassic Park?
M: Yes. That is how I know what types of dinosaurs these are.
Forehead, please meet my palm!
Clearly, I can’t trust that Atticus will learn accurate facts.
