My kids say the most random things. Sometimes I can figure out what the heck they are trying to say. Like this, from this morning:

Tara: We’re gonna be several minutes late.

Ezra: How many is several.

Zach: Twelve.

Ezra: No, Zach, a dozen is twelve.

Zach: Oh, yeah. Right, right.

Tara: Several is three or four.

Zach: Well then why is Turkey four.

Tara (in her head): What? What could that mean? Think, Tara. It must mean something. Ooooh. I got it!

Tara (out loud): Oh, a turkey. A turkey is three strikes. But only in bowling.

Other times, I have no idea where an idea came from. Like this, from this afternoon:

Ezra (while standing on his head in the living room): Mom, I want to show you a very good technique that they could use on fairies if they were going on a long, long, long trip across the ocean. They could put a solar panel on it so it could go all the way around the world.

And then, without waiting for a reply, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Whether I figure out what they are saying or not, one of the best things about homeschooling is being around to hear more of what is going on inside their busy brains.
