1. You can quote Blimey Cow like it’s your job

They understand your life.

2. Same with Princess Bride

“You keep using that word…I do not think you know what it means.”

3. School in your PJs

Yeah, be jealous.

4. AWANA was a staple in your childhood

Sing it with me now “…Approved workmen are not ashamed…”

5. When people asked if you went to public school you took it as a huge compliment

“Mom! They think I’m normal!!”

6. “Shouldn’t you be in school?”

Yes, Grocery Store Cashier, I should be and I am in school. I’m just learning mental math and percentages in real-life scenarios instead of using a worksheet

7. Summer reading programs at a local library were the coolest thing you did each summer…

…and you still love reading because of them

8. Normal book reports weren’t a thing

No, you had to make a shadowbox diorama of Huck Finn and "present" it to your parent(s). (Sometimes you felt like a paper would have been soooo much better and don't know why your public school friends complained so much!)

9. Gross dissections weren’t required

Be free, little Kermit!

10. Having to explain we don’t all have 18 siblings

Just because the only homeschool family you know is the Duggers doesn’t mean all of our families are trying to single-handedly repopulate the earth

11. Self-motivation is a place where you blow your public school friends out of the water

Which makes college 200% easier

12. “Do you have friends?”

I'm homeschooled, not Rapunzel kthxbye.

13. You may have occasionally wanted to go to public school...

...But looking back now, you wouldn't change your schooling for the world.
