Your mom rocks when it comes to cute ideas for pictures. Hey Rechelle great story.

If only my parents were as hip as ol' Abe's. I would have read the Little House books again (history! geography! quick...where's Plum Creek again? California?) and then the Swallows and Amazons again (geography! pirates!) and then, for variety, baked cookies. And honestly, how would that have made me any different than how I am now? It's not like I retained anything from Geometry or Life Science.<br/>I LOVED this post. And your last one.

First Abraham Lincoln for a father and now Ree THE Pioneer Woman for a commentor! Holy cow! This is friggin' blowin' my mind! I think I've forgotten what I was going to say about the rest of this post.<br/><br/>Oh yeah, unschooling. I think I would have liked being unschooled. I would probably still have mummified a cat and written a research paper on John Steinbeck. In fact, I almost did both of those again yesterday just for fun. (Okay, not really, but I may do them again someday.) The only problem had I been unschooled would have been that I would know a very little bit about a whole bunch of things and possibly never master any of them--without at least a little guidance. Oh, and I never would have learned any Algebra or Geometry. Then again, why would skipping Algebra and Geometry have been a bad thing for me? I really haven't used it. I know, I know! It's just good for you--like a gym membership for your brain. <br/><br/>One more thing. I'm picturing you and your dad doing kicks and singing, "We wear short shorts. If you dare wear short shorts, Nair for short shorts." Except that your dad obviously decided to go au naturale on the leg hair which is probably best seeing he's a dude and a former POTUS.

Last week I decided to not grow my winter beard, but that retro picture of your dad and the chilly weather when I snagged the paper this morning has inspired me.<br/><br/>I don't think I could pull off the Abe Lincoln or the red shorty shorts. Some people just possess a quotient of cool that allows them to wear certain things. I want to be cool enough to wear leather pants or something with a fringe. I don't think that will ever happen.<br/><br/>Hey, your Sis is beating you to the bierock post. She might have posted the greatest teaser in blogging history.
