My 7-year-old son proudly embraces his inner nerd. While nerd culture has become quite popular, I like to believe he would have been just as enthusiastic about his interests, no matter the era. Here are 11 delightful signs that showcase his nerdy spirit:
- He is quick to correct anyone who mistakenly refers to the creature as “Frankenstein.” “Frankenstein is the doctor!” he insists. “The green guy with the bolts is Frankenstein’s monster!”
- During a conversation with a friend’s dad, he confidently declared, “I’m not great at sports, except for archery.”
- His unique fashion sense includes pairing a tie and a Newsies hat with one of his many comic book character T-shirts—he has no other kind!
- Despite his small size, he proudly boasts that he is the only hobbit in his class.
- “If they ever make an Aquaman movie, it better be done right,” he declared with serious conviction.
- He named the neighborhood stray cat “Crookshanks,” inspired by Hermione’s feline companion from the Harry Potter series.
- The only moment of sadness he’s shown while watching TV was when his favorite contestant on The Quest, a reality show reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings, was eliminated. He tried to hide his tears, insisting, “I’m not crying!”
- He even crafted a rap that cleverly rhymes “Pekingese” with “allergies.”
- After rewatching Young Frankenstein (remember, “Frankenstein” refers to the doctor!), he raised his hand in class like Inspector Kemp. While he claimed no one noticed, it felt like a comedic victory to him.
- He showcased his talent by doing impressions at his school’s talent show, including Captain Kirk and the local weatherman—both sounded remarkably alike.
- Just last month, we started sketching designs for his Riddler costume for Halloween, and yes, it’s only June!
