How does a homeschooler change a light bulb?

I read this at CurrClick's new blog, and it totally cracked me up:

So...how does a homeschooler change a light bulb??

First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and create a lapbookbased on his life.

Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.

Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure outhow much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.

On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.

Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.

And there is light.

Ha!  Do you love that or what?
