Discussion:
Mother: The moon rotates around the sun and it is a stone. It doesn’t have its own light coz it relies on the sun.
Son: No it will rotate around d earth. Look at d brain pop Jr. and it will show the moon rotates around the earth.
Mama: (Looks at the internet so that she can win the argument. But when she reads, she finds out that the moon rotates around the earth through its own axis in which she forgot about her lesson during her student days. TOINK!)
Son: See the moon rotates around the earth!
Mama: Ah I remember the earth has 1 moon and other planets have more than 1.
Son: (He makes drawing and then he explains it.)

Mama: The earth cannot leave the moon behind while it is rotating around the sun in 365 days so meaning the moon also rotates around the sun but together with the earth.
Son: (He insists that the moon won’t rotate around the sun because it will ONLY rotate around the earth.)
Mama: (Pointing on the drawing of the homeschool kid.) Where is the moon when the earth rotates on this area in your drawing? The earth cannot say to the moon to stay behind coz she will rotate around the earth. The earth and the moon will rotate together around the sun.
Son: (He cannot accept the explanation of his mother.)
Daddy: (Joins the conversation.) The moon is within the gravitational system of the earth.

Then the Mama and the Son quits the arguments. BWAHAHAHA!

And the reason why the Son is silent is that he makes another drawing – The Galaxy and he explains it again to his mother. TOINK!

And then the Son is angry and at the same time laughing with what his mother say — Since the moon is a stone, soon it will become a meteorRRR….BWAHAHAHA!

Nah, this is just a typical conversation of the family that loves to stay in the house most of the time doing homeschooling five days a week (sometimes 7 days when we need to finish the assignments being assigned for the week). And yes, my son is correct with his belief that the moon is rotating around the Earth through its own axis. I am just arguing with my homeschool son so that he will not know that I forgot my lesson when I was still studying. I shared this with my friends and they said that my son is a smart kid. Smart, maybe and I hope so. If he can perfect his writing skills, I mean if he can teach himself to love writing, I think this will match his smartness as he is not that good yet with his writing. For him, writing is like a burden on him – it is like carrying the whole wide world coz by just looking at the pencil he will count the letters and he will say that the things that he needs to write is too many. But whenever it is homeschooling day, he will win over writing as he will force himself to write those things that he needs to. LOL He-he-he!

I know as he grows bigger, he will learn to love writing and with that I will not be asking too much for him to write this and that. He is a smart kid coz when I will explain to him with just one explanation, he can easily understand and he can easily finds the answers.

I just love helping him in his studies. And in the coming years, I will be homeschooling two kids as I would definitely homeschool my baby girl. Homeschooling is challenging and it is fun!
