Random things we've learnt...

# Cats sit down when they eat

# Texta's are not suitable drawing utensils for children 3yrs and under (lids NEVER get put back on)

# Neither are crayons

# Walls and doors are the preferred drawing area for children of all ages - regardless of just being cleaned by the mother hours before hand

# Rabbits don't wait 3 days for you to look for them, catch them and return them to their cage

# Older children teach younger children to count without permission or knowledge of their parents

# Sibling Tormenting begins at early ages such as 15 month old babies

# If you yell at the pets to shut up, get out, sit down, liklihood is the baby will learn these words in place of other 'nicer' words such as "Quiet please doggy and stop barking" "outside" "sit"

# Fly killing is like a sport

# Cats don't run away when being tortured by children

# Cats cannot move when dressed in doll clothing hence them lying there enduring all sorts of 'play'

# Formal homeschooling can be put 'on hold' for extended periods of time but children will still pull their work out and do it without you

# Children listen really carefully to what you are saying and can repeat such things days afterwards (NO JOKE!) BUT they can not do what you tell them to do, when you tell them to do it (NO JOKE!)
