This morning, my youngest discovered some educational apps on my iphone. She was most excited about "3D Brain", a high school/college level app that shows the brain and its parts and functions. It's a handy little tool for those like us who find things like that interesting.
As Belle gleefully toyed around with the app, I thought to myself: "Man, I think her excitement about this is cool...but maybe I am too close to this situation, and maybe it is just really...really...NERDY." (Not that I would discourage this...but sometimes parents think that something about their kid is just the neatest thing, and only outsiders have the objectivity to see it as weird, annoying or, in this case, extremely nerdy. Just something that I try to keep in mind while parenting.)
So, just as I had the "maybe this is nerdy" thought...Belle exclaims, "HEY! The front view of the hippocampus looks like a Klingon warship!"
Yup. Definitely nerdy.
Uh oh. What have we done?
