Homeschool Blogging A to Z: J is for Jokes

 Homeschoolers have a good sense of humor.  In fact, I don't know that anyone teases homeschoolers more than homeschoolers.  We wear t-shirts proclaiming "homeskooled" and sometimes the moms wear denim dresses just for sport, per the stereotype.  Regardless, here are some videos featuring homeschool jokes for
