When I mentioned to John last night that I thought my most recent post might make me look ever so slightly geeky, instead of replying with the obvious “might?” he said “Better to be geeky than a dumbass.”
Obviously I made a smart decision when I married him, because he is so very right. So what if I’m somewhat less than cool in my approach to life sometimes. At least I’m not a moron.
I’ll have to remember that one so I can use it on our kids. Because you know I’d rather have geeky kids than stupid ones. And let’s face it, the chances of us having a kid who follows their own path is pretty high. Either that or we’ll end up with some all-American football playing/cheerleading/beauty pageant liking/Michael J. Fox on Family Ties kid who mystifies us on a regular basis. Sullen and punky I can relate to, no problem. Mainstream might be tricky. We will, however, raise our children right, so at least Republicanism shouldn’t be an issue.

Amen - better geeky than stupid. Or Republican.
"so at least Republicanism shouldn't be an issue."
HAHA. amen to that! seriously, though, i agree that it's better to be geeky than a moron.
I'm so scared that Alliclaus will grow up to be our Alex. How do you avoid it?!?
I used to say, "Better to be a smart ass than a dumb one." Yeah, I was popular.
