Old MacDonald Had Some Cheeseburgers
The boys have been going to work with Dad this week. Well, he didn’t go to the office with them, but he did take them to run daily errands with him, id est, post office, bank, grocery store. Dad takes one each day, and the boy keeps coming home with a soda and a cheeseburger.
Today, I took the children to the library and then to “Old MacDonald’s” to get a cheeseburger with no soda. We met a family who was visiting from Germany. The parents were surprised to hear that we home school and stated that it’s illegal to homeschool in Germany. They asked me if a teacher came to the house, and I said that I was the teacher. They didn’t seem too happy about that. But I reassured them that the state does have standards and requires student testing. They stopped frowning. And I mentioned that we follow a Waldorf-style education. They smiled. “Waldorf is important for children’s development,” said die Mutter. I could have mentioned that we are fans of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, but that would be taking it too far, don’t you think?
Before they left, they took the iconic picture with Ronald McDonald.

“Look at the birdie!” And they were trying to find the birdie. Sheesh.
