The other day while celebrating Cal's birthday at Mom's we were playing Apples to Apples and talking about words and my daughter likes to look through my dearly departed Grandpa Bill's gi-normous dictionary and read translations and various items of interest. The other day she and her boyfriend curled up with this huge book and were snuggling and reading it together. It was so cute. Of course, I had to make the comment "they're a cute couple of nerds." A couple of people protested, "no they're not!!!"I meant it as a compliment really. Well, I realized that NERD wasn't the correct choice in words. Earlier today I was scrolling thru a new internet site that is like surfing thru a magazine. It is called "Pinterest" because people re-pin little articles, pictures and all kinds of crafting and food items(these are only a few examples.) I happened to notice a section entitled NERDS. Needless to say, I had to explore. I found the perfect explanation of what I was struggling to convey!
We are all a little weird and
Life is a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.
~Dr. Seuss
I think that Seuss hit the nail on the head. "I said what I meant and I meant what I said..." Horton Hatches an Egg? Dr. Seuss was an awesome writer and one of my favorites!
