Why Not?


The radical unschooling lifestyle has so impacted us. Now, "Why not?" comes to us naturally in most situations. And that opens our lives up to freedom and creativity and mutual respect.

Yesterday was warm and sunny and we were wishing that our pool water was warmer (60 is too cold to sound really appealing if you ask me). I said jokingly, "We could go canoeing in the pool." But Bowie didn't see the joke, he saw the opportunity. So we did. All of us took turns, Bowie practiced getting in and out and in and out and paddling. What fun! And then my boys decided that they would like to swim and went in their shorts. Why not? I did however say it was too cold for me.
