Just Call The Tyrant Queen Mom

We started learning about the American Revolution yesterday. Actually we read some about the French and Indian War. And about the huge debt that needed to be payed off as a result of said war. We did not really go into a whole lot of details, just that the king thought that the colonists should be the ones to pay the debt. This morning after Bible study and Catechism, before handing them their papers I announced that homeschooling is very expensive. Since they are the ones who are benefiting from homeschooling, from now on they would pay taxes to pay off their homeschooling debts. Today there is a tax of one cent per piece of paper. And a tax of one cent per each time that a pencil is used. Nathaniel has decided that he is only going to use the backs of papers today. Benjamin is all into the idea. He is suggesting other things that could be taxed. Samuel is not too thrilled, but he is not really putting up much of a fuss. How funny, I have a Tory, a Patriot, and a Neutral. Let the revolution begin!!!!
