I went to prom, art class, dual-enrolled in community college. My sisters dated "freely". In fact, my oldest sister conceived my niece before she got married, despite having 'the facts'. So the stereotype about homeschool kids being lily white recluses is dumb. But this book sounds whack anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947655512419533059.post-53556446456516215252009-01-29T16:53:00.000-08:002009-01-29T16:53:00.000-08:00"Backyard of death plants" is my new very favorite..."Backyard of death plants" is my new very favorite phrase ever.

Lisa wouldn't though, so yeah I don't know what that was about. <BR/><BR/>Didn't Lurlene say that she gets her slang and stuff from kids she listens to or hangs out with? I think they're screwing with her head or something, because no teenagers talk like that.
