And poor me. This is Michael and I every night after work:
“Your nerd has built an annoyingly efficient relevancy engine in his head. It’s the end of the day and you and your nerd are hanging out on the couch. The TV is off. There isn’t a computer anywhere nearby and you’re giving your nerd the daily debrief. “Spent an hour at the post office trying to ship that package to your mom, and then I went down to that bistro — you know — the one next the flower shop, and it’s closed. Can you believe that?”
And your nerd says, “Cool”.
Cool? What’s cool? The business closing? The package? How is any of it cool? None of it’s cool. Actually, all of it might be cool, but your nerd doesn’t believe any of what you’re saying is relevant. This is what he heard, “Spent an hour at the post office blah blah blah…””
LOL What is the word for my hubby and me. We do carpet speak. Our kids roll their eyes. Do you remember what the carpet looked like at Postie Con? I do. We are all nerds in our own way.

Poor you? You do the same thing to him. So, doesn’t that make it fair? You are a nerd just as much as he is.
I should also confess that my word isn’t cool. It’s “interesting.” Just don’t tell my wife.
