All the Christian Homeschoolers!

[Sussex19]

Oh dear

To bring things back to homeschooler topics, the question of the day is...
What kind of homeschooler stereotypes do you think you embody?

Maybe ask a sibling or friend for their thoughts. My sister says I'm the "weird knife girl". Other than that, I am definitely a weird, awkward homeschooler and people can TELL that I'm homeschooled and proud.

I don't think anyone has ever said I'm one thing or another
What does happen, is my accent getting commented on.
So my dad came from the Uk, and mum came from Europe. Even when dad lived in the UK, he got people saying things like, 'do you come from New Zealand?' so I guess odd accents are in the family.
And then because I have been homeschooled and not been around other people much when I grew up, I haven't adapted either,
So now I sound part English, Part European, part our family/homeschooled, and part Australian.
So just about every single person talk to, asks where I'm from. I don't really mind, and my brothers have it just as bad, but I would love to be able to talk like a local.

I might disappoint in that respect!
One of the best things to listen to here, is CB radio on channel 40. That is the truckies channel, and some of the stuff you hear on there is gold!
Although, there are a few moment where it might be better to turn it off...
Do you want to guess what they call mobile speed cameras that sit in a van on the side?

As long as you didn't sound like a boring American like me, I think you'd be good no matter what you sound like.

I don't think Americans sound boring at all!
Well...maybe some of their news presenters do, but not anyone else!

Well-- even a lot of Americans have unique and interesting accents, come to think of it. Take dialects like southern or new england for example.

But not us out here lol. We're pretty boring.

I think everyone thinks they sound boring really. I hate, hate, hate hearing myself when it gets recorded.
The speed cameras are called 'flash for cash' by the way!

I would love to hear what that actually sounds like!
