Friday Favorite: Confessions of a Closeted Geek

 
I am a closet geek. At least I think I'm closeted.  Not anymore.


 
A knit hat with Yoda ears for a newborn makes me giggle.


The only outfit I've ever "liked" on Pinterest contains a Superman tee and yellow Converse. When I clicked through to see the source, I realized it was inspired by Leonard on The Big Bang Theory.

 I sincerely believe Firefly was brilliant...and should probably be taught in schools.

So, this morning's conversation with my three-year-old was bound to happen.

Max asked, "Mom, what's in a lightsaver?" (Note: just as he says "grabel" for "gravel," he means "lightsaber," not "lightsaver."

Contemplating the proper answer, I paused.

Do I tell him it's not real? Do I tell him about good and evil using The Force as a metaphor? Is he too young?

"Never mind." He looked at me knowingly and nodded. "Probably plastic."

Um, yeah.

    1. I learn from him daily--mostly about the limits of my patience and the multitude of machines that dig in the dirt.
