A Universal Truth
Between me dressing the little one up as a pirate for Halloween (her idea) and her penchant for the large twenty sided die on my desk, I think my poor wife is fighting a losing battle for my daughter's natural born nerd heart.
Even with powerful advances made in the areas of Disney princesses and hair adornments, she still proudly proclaims when we are going to "go get Daddy's comic books" and to get "Daddy boxes" (HeroClix boosters). Of course, it helps that I let her pick out the boxes for me.
A daddy's girl indeed.

Yep, I have the same wonderful situation myself. Two daughters, one into pink, one into yellow (in a big way!) Pink (5) is into princesses, dressing up and her lightsabre. I'm gonna strap a couple of danishes to her head one of these days! Yellow (3) loves her Polly Pockets, dressing up and, yup, her lightsabre too. My wife tries and tries playing them Madonna, Mika and Abba (which they do love) but the moment I put on the soundtrack to Superman, they are running around the house pretending to leap tall buildings in a single bound and flying up to catch Lois Lane. They've not yet started to quote Star Wars, but I feel it's a-coming. Picture this, Pink is sitting on the living room rug hugging a toy microphone as a joystick yelling at her screaming Tie-fighter sister, running around her like a bee on acid, "They're coming in too fast!" Me? I'll be in the back making a Chewbacca sound.
Lol! Excellent. But it sounds like you've got an Imperial on your hands. Better keep an eye out. O.o
WhooHoo! Sing that theme song, Barry. :-P
My license plate says BRWNCT. I'm as much of a nerd as Mo. Heh.
An Imperial? No, her aim's far too good. Unless she really does possess the force. Hmmm... I wonder, if I drop the blast shield on her bike helmet and throw tennis balls at her..? Naah.
BTW, Thanks for the excuse to stop my mother-in-law from getting rid of my father-in-laws samurai sword. Those Zombies had it coming anyway!
As a fellow sword toting father of two, I'd just like to say that you are a low down dirty cheater...
... and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. <_<
Keep Hope Alive for Young Nerds! :D
Such beautiful geeky comics lately. My son is doing the "Yo-Ho, Yo-ho" bit one day, Iron man(wears a pot on his head) the next, Races around doing either Lightning McQueen or Speed Racer, or finally, begs me to play more "Firefly". I blame you solid for the last one...thank you.
