"Life is too big
to squeeze into a weekend." That's what "half-heathen" public
school misfit, Christina Begoni, learns after a bout of Spanish class diarrhea
has her escaping into the arms of a holy-rolling homeschool group. With her
mustachioed, evil genius brother and cute redneck bully in tow, Christina joins
innocent homeschoolers, Sunny and David on a hilarious and often gripping
adventure on the Mississippi River. Experience the thrill and romance of the
never-ending weekend with The Homeschoolers.
I roll back under my toasty warm comforter and consider
taking a brief stroll through dreamland, but then it hits me that I only have
thirty minutes to make myself presentable to David, the divine. I down a paper
cup of tap water in the bathroom just to break the disgusting mucus seal in my
mouth. And zoom through my already minimal grooming ritual. I cut out ten
minutes of usual primp time by skipping the part where I try to de-frizz my
hair with various serums, put in too much so that I look greasy-headed, and end
up having to pull my hair back into a ponytail anyway. I go straight for the
inevitable ponytail today to save myself the frustration. I smack Kip on the
butt with my paddle brush. “Get up, Kip. Right now. Sunny and David are on
their way.”
“No can do,” Kip mumbles into his
pillow. So I pop him a few more times with my hair brush. After six more licks
across the backside, Kip relents. “Fine. I’m getting up just so I can press
assault charges against you and your hairbrush.”
