NerdDom

It’s true.  You’re always the last to know.  What is apparent to all your friends and family.  The thing that is whispered behind your back.  The one character flaw trait you go through life blissfully unaware of.  It’s official – I’m a nerd.

 Always the last to know.  The first hint of the possibility came from Fiddler one day when he said, and I quote, ‘Mom, you’re a nerd.’  What???!!!  I don’t even remember the conversation that prompted such a statement.  I just laughed it off – after all what does he know; he’s just a teenager.  Then my evil self said, ‘Who better to know a nerd when he sees one than a teenager?  They have builtin radar for this kind of stuff.’

And there I was.  Not wanting to believe it, but having to admit the facts after careful analysis.  But wait!  Perhaps I wasn’t really a nerd.  Maybe I’m a geek or a dork.  No, I don’t want to be a dork.  And which is worse, being a geek or a nerd?  Time for some research!

 It didn’t take me long to run across this little test.  The results were astonishing!  But not unexpected.  I scored a whopping 89% on the nerd-o-meter with a little bit of dork thrown in, but I’m definitely not a geek which is a relief, because those people are weird!

So, it’s official, and I am trying to embrace my nerdiness, get comfortable in my nerdy little brain, accept my nerditity for what it is.  And now that I think about it, it explains so much of my teenage angst. 

Here is the poster child of NerdDom, and if you enjoyed this movie as much as I did, you might just want to click on that link above and take that test.  It’s time.  You must acknowledge your true self.

 

And just for the record, after reading this post, Fiddler says, “Mom, this post is nerdy!”, and he immediately wanted to take the test.  His score?  Less than 50% in any of the three categories, thus he is Joe Normal.  So, there is hope for all you nerds in the childbearing years.  Nerds don’t necessarily beget nerds!
