"Oct" means eight, Right??
This is just more proof that this momma needs supervision even during "schooling"..
Me to Kaitlyn- "Just remember "oct" means eight like octopus, they have 8
legs, so an octagon, has 8 sides & like October, is the 8th
month".. And I continue on and on... Then my sweet child waits and says,
"Momma, October is not the 8th month, it is the 10th month.".. Me-
ooops! You are so right! LOL "Well there goes my whole explanation
speech" So she then got a history lesson and gave me a history lesson.
She went online and looked up Why isn't October the 8th month. We then
found out it was originally the 8th month until Julius Caesar created
the month, July, after his name and put it before October, then making
it the 9th month. Then after his death, his nephew, Augustus Caesar, did
the same by creating August. Which then moved October to being the 10th
month. So there ya go, everyone can have a little history lesson about
the month October. So I was partly right... Right??? LOL Note to others
if you ever have this problem. Use the, "Oh, I was just checking to see
if you were paying attention" statement. But be prepared your child
probably will not fall for that any more than my child. I guess I could
always write a book, "Reasons mom should not be in charge of
homeschooling, if she has a brain tumor" People could read it, laughing
some days & crying on other days. So remember "Oct" means 8 until
Julius Caesar went and messed up the months.. LOL
