Geeks and Nerds

"Did you know today is winter solstice? The sun will set at 5:38 and it will be the shortest day of the year," I informed the kids this afternoon.

"You're such a geek, mom," Big Kid said, "That's not a bad thing, it just means that you've got brains and a personality."

"SHE'S A NERD!" little kid shouted.

"She is not a nerd! Nerds are smart but social outcasts. Our mom is not a social outcast," he insisted,"She has a ton of friends on the internet."

Sigh.
