My 7-year-old son is a self-proclaimed geek, and while nerd culture is currently trendy, I can confidently say that even in a less accepting era, he’d still embrace his passions wholeheartedly. Here are 11 delightful signs of his geekiness:
- He passionately corrects anyone who mistakenly calls the creature “Frankenstein.” “Frankenstein is the doctor! The green guy with bolts is Frankenstein’s monster!” he insists.
- During a recent conversation with a friend’s dad, he confidently declared, “I’m not great at sports, except for archery!”
- His daily outfits often feature a quirky combination of a tie and a Newsies hat paired with one of his numerous comic book character T-shirts—each and every one of them!
- Despite his small stature, he boasts that he’s the only hobbit in his class, embracing his uniqueness with pride.
- When discussing a potential Aquaman movie, he proclaimed, “If they make one, it better be done right!”
- He affectionately named the stray cat in our neighborhood “Crookshanks,” inspired by Hermione’s feline companion in Harry Potter.
- The only time I’ve seen him genuinely sad while watching TV was when his favorite contestant on The Quest—a show reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings—was eliminated. He teared up, and when I looked at him, he quickly defended himself: “I’m not crying!” Classic nerd moment.
- He once crafted a rap that cleverly rhymed “Pekingese” with “allergies.” Talented, right?
- After rewatching Young Frankenstein (remember, “Frankenstein” is the doctor!), he raised his hand in class like Inspector Kemp. Although no one noticed, he considered it a personal comedic victory.
- He performed impressions at his school talent show, including Captain Kirk and the local weatherman, which sounded remarkably alike.
- In June, we just wrapped up sketching designs for his Riddler Halloween costume, proving that his creativity knows no seasonal bounds.
