Not that you'd admit it to anyone...

... but do you ever wonder if your kids are stupid or just lazy? Seriously? Daily. And what gives them the idea that if they say "I dunno" enough times, I'll give up? And why don't the homeschool supply stores sell cattle prods?

And on a related note, is it normal to want to curl up in the fetal position and let the kids do whatever they want for a few hours? Or days? And can I blame this urge on a virus? The ostrich flu or something?

According to the San Diego Zoo:

Actually, that’s a myth: ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand! When an ostrich senses danger and cannot run away, it flops to the ground and remains still, with its head and neck flat on the ground in front of it.

That sounds just about right.
