My little nerdling

I know I keep talking about what nerds my children are...but they quite honestly fascinate me with their never-ending nerditude, and I love it.

Yesterday, I came home to find my eldest laying in front of the television. At first, I was kind of surprised...because both of my boys are only vaguely interested in TV...and we really don't watch a lot of it, particularly not in the evening. We don't have cable, and I kind of feel like most network television is crap, and virtually none of it is appropriate for kids.

Anyway, I needn't have worried. I asked him "What's this?" And he was all excited..."It's this show that is a lot like that show we watched together that one time about segregation in the south, only it's about DEAF people."

So, basically, when I am not around, my son surfs PBS for good documentaries. My favorite part of this particular documentary (and I only caught the last 10 minutes of what Monk says was a 2 hour show) was the deaf rock band, Beethoven's Nightmare. Rock on, dudes. And rock on, my little dude. I just hope NPR gets its shit together before he's old enough to be a pledge member.
