（单词翻译:单击）

While1 I was2 dining3 out with my children, a man came4 over to our table, and we started talking.

He asked where my kids5 went to school. I told him we home-schooled them.

With a raised6 eyebrow7, he asked if my husband8 was the sole9 breadwinner for our family.

I said10, "No, I also work out of our home."

Then, noticing11 our two-month-old son, he mentioned12 that his daughter had13 just had a baby, and he wondered14 what hospital our son was born15 in.

"He was born at home," I answered.

The man looked at me, then said, "Wow, you don't get out much, do you?"
