You Know You're A Christian Homeschooled Speech and Debate Kid When... 2

(So it's been over a month since I posted anything. Let's just say I was on summer break, okay? And that just means that I haven't been feeling particularly creative. So now I'm just posting sequels, because who doesn't love a good sequel. Like HTTYD2. Best. Sequel. Ever. Anyway, this is a direct rip off of Blimeycow's You might be a homeschooler if. So I guess I'm double un-creative.)
