That was my mom's favorite line. She mixed it up with "{DD} seems perfectly NORMAL to ME." (with a pointed glance at us to indicate that clearly the problem was us, and that if we'd just stop all that 'nonsense' that she could get on with being a happy and more normally developing 1yo... 2yo... 3 yo... 4 yo... 5 yo... well, maybe... 6yo.. yeah, okay, maybe homeschooling isn't ALWAYS bad... )

Understand that my mother was a career elementary educator. So she definitely adopted a fairly smug/superior tone over it all, too.
