I should come with a warning label

Today I had costume fitting for Romeo and Juliet.
That went well, I guess, I won't have to go onstage with out clothing at least, but I can't promise it will stay on.
Let's just say my hips must be a bit smaller than whoever wore the pants last...

We tried out a bit of mustache make-up this evening too. They are trying to help me as much as possible with the whole 'being a man thing' as they can.
When I was about to leave one of the guys told me not to forget to wash of my make-up before school tomorrow.
Of course I had to reply with 'it doesn't matter, I'm home schooled, I can keep it on as long as I like."
Every head in the room tunred towards me
A chorus of "You're home schooled?" sounded right no-cue.

I'm used to the usual questions like:
"Do you get to wear you pajama's all day?"
"Do you have friends?"
"Are you anit-social?"
"Do you get to sleep in?"
"Can you just go to the bathroom when ever you want?"

I've gotten several outrageous responses and ridiculous questions in the past, but this has been my favourite yet.

Someone(no name stated) said:

"You're homeschooled,  do you watch Mean Girls?"

I mean seriously people.
Seriously.
This is the most important question to ask a homeschooler?
This is the first thing that pops into people's minds?
A ridiculous cliche chick flick about highschool angst, rebellion, and scary girls?
Is that really how homeschoolers are seen?
I must say, I am proud to be a homeschooler, and I enjoy laughing at the world's ignorance, but sometimes I wonder what people really think about this thing that I'm so used to and can't imagine my life with out.

I'm used to it by now, but I still find intriguing every time someone asks a question that shows how little they know about anything outside of their little bubble of existence.

My other favourite response to me being homeschooled is, "You're homeschooled? But you're so normal!"
I resent being considered normal, but I guess most people consider it a compliment or something like that.

Maybe I should just have a label or carry a sige or something that announces to the world that I am indeed homeschooled so it doesn't come as such a shock to everyone.

I guess my point is, to everyone who's homeschooled or is raising a homeschooler, get used to the questions now, come up with good comebacks, and keep a good sense of humor.

It will all come in useful.
