Punny Boy

The boys are learning about the Middle Ages in history (Yup, world history in first and third grades. We're homeschoolers. We're allowed to be weird. Sometimes I think we're expected to be weird!). The past few days we've learned about castles (the book you brought last week was quite timely, Mom!), and today we read about what it was like growing up in a castle as a son of a lord.

When a young man reached age seven, he became a page, and his duty was to wait on the ladies of the castle.

When he reached 14, he became a squire, and his duty was to wait on the men of the castle.

At age 21, if he was good and noble, he could be come a knight.

So at the end of the lesson, Lukey pipes up, "So if some boys about my age who all lived in castles started a club, would it be called a book?"

That kid just kills me :)
