Well I must live in the most brilliant of all neighborhoods. Or maybe I should say I have the most brilliant neighbors. I come home and there's a message on my voice mail from one of the mom's down the street. Here it is transcribed verbatum:"Kristie - uh, Hannah has a a project she needs to do for school. She needs a newspaper for it. I was wondering if maybe you had one. I thought out of anyone, you'd be the one to have a newspaper lying around. I don't have one..... and..... actually..... uh ..I don't know how to buy one. How do you get a newspaper?"
I'm horrible. I didn't even call back. If the 7th grade kid of hers doesn't know that you can go to the gas station or grocery store to buy a newspaper, she deserves an F on that project anyway. SO does the mom. Heck! They could steal it off our driveway tomorrow morning!!

LOL Seriously?? What is this world coming to!
That was funny! Kids these days OMG-- I'm go glad I homeschool my kids and they are learning life skills at the same time. My kids know how to balance a check book, make a budget, grocery shop, pay bills and so much more. At least I know when they move away they know how to take care of their self. Thank God!
Anissa, I don't think you realized it was the MOM asking how on earth to get a newspaper. I so feel for her kids - they are not learning what yours are.
