(I've been collecting these.  Please feel free to leave yours too!)

You know you are a homeschooler when you go to Walmart and buy:

 -  Red cabbage for the pH indicator project.
 -  A packet or two of the add-your-own-sugar Koolaid lemonade because it's a very cheap way to get citric acid for science.
 -   Food from Mexico (last week was China, next is India).
 -  Ingredients to make a wonderful breakfast (blueberries, whipped cream, etc.), but not wheat (you'll grind your own).
 -  Vinegar and baking soda for the 100th rerun of the volcano thing.
 -  A two-liter of Diet Coke and a tube of Mentos for a rerun of THAT thing.
 -  A map of the world shower curtain (they are pretty neat).

You know you're a homeschooler when....

- you bump into an old friend at the thrift store (you're looking for cheap sheets for togas) and say, "Oh, Betty, how are you doing? What's it been, three years? What math are you using these days?"

- you take a bike ride with your children. At noon on Tuesday.

- you have friends over for dinner and have to move the globe, stapler, violin music, and markers out of the way first before you sit down.

- the kids' ask "is it time for Jeopardy yet?"

- your kids don't know who or what a Beyonce is? Or Britney?

- your kids call grandma all excited to say, "We are going to convention and get to hear Ken Ham!" Grandma says, "who?"

- you get excited when your order for owl pellets finally arrives.

- your friend asks to borrow your Yellow Pages and you accidentally hand her the Rainbow Resources catalog.

- you understand these acronyms: MUS, LLATL, IEW, SotW, BJU, etc.

- you take a kid to the grocery store and ask them to estimate the weight of the bag of peaches and then weigh it and calculate the price.

-your answering machine states "leave a message and we'll call you back after 3 PM."

- you say to your non-hs friends, "And Sally is going into 7th grade and ..." and your dd interrupts "No, she's going into 8th, right?" And you have to think about it.

- the kids sit down for dinner and start bickering over which child gets the president placemat, which one gets the types of rocks placemat, and which one gets the cursive letters one.

- you do math at the park. Or at home in your pajamas.

- someone asks your DS, "What grade are you in now?" and your DS replies, "For what subject?"
