  • Revenge of the Nerds

    By Dean Dad November 6, 2007 10:03 pm

    Apparently, there's a candy now called "Nerds." The Boy got some in his Halloween loot, and opened the box after dinner last night.

    The following ensued.

    TB: NERDS!

    The Wife: (chuckle)

    DD: Ouch.

    TB: I like nerds!

    The Wife and DD: (chuckle)

    TB: Mmm. Nerds are sweet.

    TW/DD: (snarfle)

    (TB spills some.)

    TB: Uh-oh! There's a nerd by The Girl!

    TW: There certainly is.

    DD: Harumph.

    TW: How do you feel about that, DD?

    DD: Exposed. I've been outed.

    TB: Huh?

    DD: Do you know what a nerd is?

    TB: No.

    DD: Good.

    TW: Someday, you'll hear that there's a nerd by TG.

    DD: She could do a lot worse.

    TW (smiling wryly): Mmm-hmm...

  • Those conversations have been going on for years . . . Nerds (the candy) have been in existence since at least the mid-80s, if not earlier.
