What I learned from 3 days at a homeschool convention booth

I always enjoy people watching... all kinds of people watching. So when I was recently a vendor at a homeschool convention, I had the opportunity to learn some things....

• I am noise intolerant. This was reinforced to me. There were crying babies everywhere. I'm so glad I wasn't lactating. Whoever sold those "bird callers," I hate you.

• Ballet slippers (real ones) are not just for dancing.

• Classification is important... hipsters, mennonites, christian, secular, unschool... most people lead the conversation with, "I am a ... ."

• If you have more than 6 children, it's a "thing" to wear fluorescent matching t-shirts.

• Smiling all day kinda hurts.
