Top 10 reasons our kindergartners will probably never be hauled away in handcuffs
Wednesday, May 4, 2005
10. The only time I “count to five” is when I’m cooking up bowls of oatmeal for Baby Energizer in the morning.
9. All our county resource officers are tied up at our local public preschool.
8. If the teacher needs a little reinforcement, the teacher places a call to the Principal. The Principal speaks on the phone for about 30 seconds to the pupil. Said pupil morphs into Teacher’s Pet instantaneously. Case closed.
7. I never forget to generously dose each child with Prozac and Ritalin before the start of each day.
6. All our kids just skip kindergarten.
5. Withholding library privileges is worse than handcuffs for our kids.
4. If Baby Energizer continues her growth trend, the police will need a forklift by the time she’s five, not handcuffs.
3. The NEA and the ACLU are scared of the HSLDA.
2. Our kindergartners are too busy reading good books to be inconvenienced by a trip to jail.
1. Because our Junior isn’t finally disciplined on his 53rd trial of the same antic.

Great post. I doubt your kids will ever be handcuffed for misbehavior. Homeschooled kids only get arrested and cuffed for serious things–like taking a glass of water to a thirsty woman being killed by her husband.

I love it Amy. Great list.
I wanted to comment on the Nanny. I do like one thing about her. She is a realistically built woman in the unrealistic world of t.v. land. I don’t watch her and hate the way I look!

Regarding Nanny–what you’re trying to say, Holly, is that she’s, um, not a size 2. They chose her for one thing only (which is great): “You’ve been very, very naughty!” [The one thing I expected to be taken to task for was the one thing I wasn't taken to task for (except by my husband): why in the world I was watching TV in the first place!
]
Jo–so true. I pray that the only handcuffs my children ever wear are for righteousness’ sake…
