I asked my young niece an important question today: "Do you know what a nerd is?"

She didn't.

"Nerds are smart kids, like us. Like your mommy and Ken and me. Do you want to be a nerd too?"

"Um. Yes."

"That's probably for the best. I don't think you were going to have much of a choice."

Then I taught her to fist pound. And then she told me that she thinks drag queens are funny.

My niece is better than me in every conceivable way. Her favourite colour is "pink with skulls". That's the colour she plans to paint her motorcycle when she's older.

Oh, that's splendid. I like the idea of the future being in her hands.

She is too marvelous for words.
"Pink with skulls", now that's a pink I can get behind.

Agreed!

I aspire to being a nerd. I fear I shall only ever manage to be a geek, sadly. *sigh*

Your niece has a leg up on all of us!

Geeks outrank nerds! A geek holds a high level of achievement in a given field. Nerds like computers, but geeks can build them.
