No, my daughter's curiosity is not dead. She is rereading "Little Women" at the moment, actually, and has fallen in love with poetry when I was not looking. She begged for that book of the singer Jewel's poems when we were at the bookstore, and then started writing stunning ones herself, which are very personal so I cannot share any of them here. But one of the lines in one of them contains the phrase "thorny maleness", which I thought was just grand. Of course, then I am quietly going, hmmmm, thorny maleness, what would she know about that? No wonder teenagers are so secretive when their parents are around! TV is a problem. It lures people into wasting vast chunks of their lives. However, we have a magical device called "TV Allowance", a product where you have a four-digit code you punch into a box, which shuts off after you have watched your allotted hours in a seven-day period. Everyone in our family has agreed to use it under these circumstances, since somehow in a very unstructured system like home schooling, structure of some sort is necessary.
