The Finale

One great thing about homeschool is that you can take time off for important events. Important events like the American Idol finale. Its a fun time to sit and listen to how my children haven't been impacted by US culture.

We have Nick, Disney, and E! and we get a lot of US movies but its still not uncommon to hear my kids say, "I don't know who that is." Pop culture moves so fast that after almost 3 years outside America we have almost no idea who most famous people are nowadays.

One perk during the American Idol finale is they bring back old artists like Hall and Oates so Mom and Dad at least know something. Plus, we get the added benefit of saying, "Wow, they are old-looking!" I guess its better than becoming odd-looking but then again they did have the Alice Cooper black-eyed youth choir...
