Another Saturday Night...

... of nerd talk at the Rideout Household...


Seb: "I've got a nerd joke."

Me:  "Let's hear it."

Seb: "Say Mommy asks me to do something, like get the laundry.  I could just say 'potassium'."

Me: confused

Isabelle: "That's not very funny."

Irene:  "It's not very practical, either. 'Potassium' has more syllables than 'K'."

Seb: "Well, I said it was a nerd joke - I didn't say it was practical!"

Me: "Well, you could just ask people their opinion by asking 'Sodium or Potassium' "

Irene: eyeroll

Isabelle: "That's funny!"

Irene: "But the negative is usually spelled 'nah'."

Me: eyeroll "Why you always gotta rain on my parade?"

Irene: "It's what I do best."
