The Comic Book Nerds

Most people look at me and think "girlie girl".  In some ways I'm becoming more of one being the mother of the most ultimate girlie girl on the planet.  But deep down if you want to describe me the three words I would use are: dork, nerd, and geek.  Nothing shows that more than my love of comics which makes me, according to my boys: the coolest mom in the world.

Before Harm loved Harry Potter or Captain America, I loved the X-Men and their other marvel counterparts.   I used to write comics when I was young.  I can't remember what the acronym stand for I remember vividly writing about a team called the TMNT which was a group of mutant superheroes.  I probably would have forgotten about those guys but Harm asked me about his writing and it brought back those memories.

It's fun to see him grow and begin to do the super nerd things I would do.  He finds the coolest program on my computer is not a game or even the Internet but Microsoft Word.  He begs me to use it all the time.  This holiday season once our new home is done I plan on purchasing him a desktop. (We have a cute little homework desk planned for the kitchen).  This way he can use MS Word any time he wants.

Cally also is getting the super hero bug.  He always has Been my Star Wars kid.  No though we are bonding.  You see I loved Guardians of the Galaxy long before the new awesome movie.  Cally has fallen in love with Rocket and now he just loves wearing all things Rocket and loves looking at my old Guardians books.  So we got new comic subscriptions but instead of books bee now use the Kindle app.  Just like I used to read the comics to my momma they now read to me.  Rachel wants nothing of it but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

It just goes to show that who would have ever guessed being a geek would be so cool.
