You tell the kids to play online games for 5 minutes while you use the "bathroom" which is Mom code word for grabbing your tablet and searching what something it..... and some forgotten part of your brain kicks in when you see the definition and suddenly you remember! WHEW!
Yep, I have those a lot. Sometimes I feel like I relearn alongside my boys! Still doesn't mean I retain any of it but I do have days where I feel like I should be rushing through hallways with an armload of books!
"Analogy" is one of those times. I know we have done it. I know that I know it.... but for the life of me....brain fart. Info deleted in my memory.
Internet saves my butt once again!
During a recent science chat about animal lessons, we started talking about a mouse and a computer mouse. We call them the same thing, a mouse. Rarely, if ever does one refer to a computer mouse AS a computer mouse. It is just called a mouse and it depends on the context you are using the word in, that you would understand which one you were talking about.
So, I guess what I am saying it..... it has been 5-10-15-20+ years since we have been in school.... it is OK not to remember things like what an analogy is.... to escape to the bathroom to figure it out!
That is what makes us GREAT homeschooling parents!
Happy Homeschooling!
Oh and in case YOU didn't remember what an analogy was, definition below:
anal·o·gy
noun \ə-ˈna-lə-jē\
: a comparison of two things based on their being alike in some way
: the act of comparing two things that are alike in some way
