I would say yes

 

[P-E]

Did someone say wood?

calm down pe, not that type of wood.

Ah Matt, You're killing the mood.

and THAT is Matt's primary reason for existence here

my 9 yo daughter asked me this morning if calling someone a "nerd" was bad. As in, "You built that huge lego tower? You're so nerdy!" Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with a huge Lego tower.

 

[matt267 PE]

I think "nerds" are in. Ain't they?

 

[P-E]

I think "nerds" are in. Ain't they?

I've heard that too. Build away.

 

[matt267 PE]

A Lego store is being built at the local mall. My daughter is just a little excited about that.

I think nerds are hip now. But I told her it's a little ambiguous. So if she's looking to give someone a compliment she should say something else ("awesome tower!"). But I don't know if she was thinking of saying it or if someone said it to her.

Isn't there a discussion somewhere on this board about nerds and geeks and which one is cool?

 

[matt267 PE]

I never realized how complicated the social atmosphere was for girls of that age until I started asking my daughter questions.

I don't ask anymore.

Edit:

That's a lie. I ask and lecture. She avoids and ignores.

 

[Supe]

She is well trained.

 

[matt267 PE]

She is well trained.

Not really. She can't even load the dishwasher.

Jocks rule high school, nerds rule the world!

You should be very proud.

 

[matt267 PE]

I hope she continues to like science and building as she gets older.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Cooking is a science and kitchens are in buildings right?

 

[matt267 PE]

Well, she does spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Just got a call from home, guess mini-Ram is feeling better today - cleared out all the food in the fridge and is almost done working his way through all his snacks. Off to the supermarket after work I guess.
