I am very aware that my girls are both very nerdy and very girlie. I mean the NerdPie’s favorite color is purple and the NerdPud is pink!
So it should come as no surprise that my girls were playing Mommy and Baby outside together. But not without a nerdy twist. NerdPie (the 8 year old) was coming back outside after dumping the garbage. From the door she says, “Where’s my baby cyborg?” Yup, that is my girls;).
Aah, the insight holiday specials give us about our children!
So I was snuggled in with the Nerdlings watching the Michael Buble Christmas Special and on comes Justin Bieber. So these girls start screaming on the show to the point that they are crying. So NerdPie asks why these girls are so worked up over silly Justin Bieber. I tell her that they’re very excited to see this singer that they all think it’s cute and wonderful. She shook her head in disbelief. She says plainly,”They’re freaking out over some person they don’t even know!” So I asked her who she would get excited and freak about seeing. She looks me straight in the face and says plainly, “My dead grandfather.” So I ask which one and she said either of them. We went on to talk about why we both think that this reaction to stars is silly.
Is it wrong to say how proud I am of my 8-year-old little girl that she has not bought in to all this craziness over pop stars. Is this due to the homeschooling or the extreme nerdiness? Either way it’s a win.
This is so cute! Pretty decent telling of the story too! Happy Hanukkah!
Who doesn’t like a good slap? I mean watching and not getting;). And you have to love when a good prank gets turned on the prankster;). I have watched it a couple of times and can’t quit laughing!
Found this over at Neatorama! Just a little something to bring a smile to all those geek faces this Monday morning!
Jefferson Smith organized this great April Fool’s joke! At the time this was put together the Oregon House was split evenly and they all pitched in to Rick Roll the Legislature. It is definitely cute!

I saw this on the TWIT preshow last week and it is hilarious! I think I like it better than the original “New York”;).
Don’t get me wrong, I love The Doctor for all the nerdy reasons. Daleks, sonic screw drivers, you name it! But I am still a girl;).
Ok, we can’t deny that Lady Gaga is super catchy and the kids would love it. But I don’t love the lyrics. So when I was looking at Hanukkah videos I saw numerous Jewish Lady Gaga parodies and we here at the NerdFamily have been watching a ton of them. And we love them!!! Who knew Hebrew and Yiddish would lend itself so well;).
These parodies have led to both interesting and hilarious results. Interesting because it has given me plenty of things to explain to the kiddos. Not only what is referenced in the videos on that face of it but why we keep and agree with some of those things and not others. The hilarity comes when you see your 7 and 3 year old girls singing about not seeing someone because they are engaged;). I rolled!
