"I'll Be Darned!"

I was at church on Sunday and my dad's friend stops me to ask where my dad is.

Long story short he ended up asking me a bunch of questions.

"So, where do you go to school?"

"Where do you want to go to college?"

Blah, blah, blah.

Look, I'm sorry that I sound rude, but I've been asked these same questions so many times that I'm completely sick of them.

Anyways, I answer him.

"I'm homeschooled."

He looks shocked, "I'll be darned" (clean version). "So, how do you meet friends??"

What he meant to say was,

"Do you have any friends??? Probably not.."

"Yeah, actually I do have friends."

He was surprised.

Then the next question goes along with the previous one:

"So! What are you going to do about college? There are a lot of buildings and such..."

WAIT A SECOND. There are buildings that don't resemble my home?? Forget it. I'm going to do online college. Thank you for enlightening me!

Yeah, right!

So he thinks that a student that does his or her schoolwork at home is uncapable of going to college because there are a lot of buildings, and since I don't have any social skills (or so he thinks), I'm doomed to failure.

Okay then..
