I was looking through really old blogposts and came across this one. I actually laughed out loud. So I decided to repost…enjoy!
Sung to the tune of Veggie Tales “The Pirates who Don’t Do Anything.”
All 3 Moms:
We are the home school moms who can’t do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We’ll just tell you
We can’t do everything
Mom2:
Well, I’ve never been to Boston and I’ve never shot a musket, and I’venever built a cabin using nothing but an axe, and I’ve never skinned a possum, and I’ve never staged a battle, and I’ve never started homeschool before fall!
All:
We are the home school moms who can’t do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We’ll just tell you…
We can’t do everything!
Mom 2:
And I’ve never distilled water, and I’ve never bandaged birdies, and I’ve never built an ant farm ‘cuz I can’t stand things that crawl, and I’ve never dug a fossil, and I’ve never owned a test tube, and I’ve never started home school before fall!
All:
We are the home school moms who can’t do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot

We’ll just tell you
We can’t do everything
Mom 1:
And I’ve never slaughtered chickens, and I’ve never milked a go-oat, and I’ve never gone to 4-H or the local county fair, and I’ve never sewn a jumper, and I don’t look good in denim, and I’ve never started home school before fall!
Mom2:
Huh? What are you talking about? What’s a milk goat and denim jumpers got to do with being a home school mom?
Mom3:
Hey, that’s right! We’re supposed to sing about academic-ythings!
Mom1:
Oh…
Mom2:
And who ever sews school uniforms? That’s impossible! Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?
Mom 3:
I think you should do your laundry.
Mom2:
Huh? Why do you think that?
Mom3:
You should…
Mom2:
Don’t wanna!
Mom3:
You wore that shirt yesterday!
Mom2:
That’s it, you’re going to help me!
Mom3:
Says who?
Mom2:
Says ME, that’s who!
Mom3:
Oh yeah? Well I’m not picking up your socks! (pinches her own nose)
Mom2:
Argh!
Mom3:
Yike!
Mom1:
And I’ve never done gymnastics, and I’ve never danced the polka, and I’ve never painted daisies ’cause I cannot paint at all, and I’ve never made a schedule, and my house is never perfect…
Mom2:
It’ll never happen!
All:
And we’ve never started home school before fall!

We’ll just tell you
We can’t do everything
Mom2:
Pass the pencils! Who’s got the teacher’s guide?
Mom1:
Here it is! (holds up shredded paper)
Mom3:
(groans, then smiles with sudden inspiration) Time for recess!
Mom2:
It’s definitely time for Scotch tape.
Mom3:
Oh, I don’t like that stuff…
Mom1:
Hey, look! I found a crayon!
