Why We Homeschool

#4 (who is 5) this morning said, “Mom, did you know that William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings?”

Me: “Yes, I did. Do you know who he beat?”

#4: “Harold.”

Me: “Oh. And why did he have to fight Harold ?”

#4: “Because Edward was king and had no sons, so they made Harold king, but William wanted to do it. So William killed him and he got to do it.”

Me: “That’s exactly right. How did you get so smart?”

#4: “#3 told me.”

Me: “#3 is 8. How does he know the Battle of Hastings?”

#4: “He read it of course.”

of course.
