My child

[drwex]

Thing 2 is busy baffling his mother, who gives up and goes out to clean off the car.

Thing 2: Ankyou-thay, Ima-may
Me: OK, Pig-Hebrew is just bizarre.
Thing 2: Thank you. As I tell the kids at school, "I'm weird, with a capital Q"
*parental laughter*
Thing 2: Some people call me strange because they know I like to be called weird. And I say, "If I was Strange then you wouldn't want to cross me."

He then goes on to explain that only one of his friends ever got it and only because that friend has the Complete Handbook of Marvel Characters and thus knows who Dr. Strange is.

ETA:
Thing 2 wanders into the room as I'm typing this up.
Thing 2: Is that on LJ?
Me: Yes, I'm posting your cuteness
Thing 2, in his most serious voice: Thank you, Daddy.

Cute. :)

The first kid I mentored in the reading program I do once declared that he didn't want to be normal. I agreed with him that normal was boring, and recommended that he let his freak flag fly. :)

Geek children are awesome

Yay for Thing2

I LOVE when he is like this. I'm glad he's getting to see how proud we can be of him and supportive of his uniqueness.

I'm so glad your geeky kids have geeky parents who understand and appreciate them. Being the FIRST geek in the family is so much harder.

I love enjoying your children vicariously :)
