My Mini Whovian
Recently, my boyfriend and I were talking about Isaac Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, one of which being that robots aren’t allowed to hurt humans. Just then, my 7 year old daughter ran into the room, furious. She says “Mom. The Daleks are robots and they hurt people all the time!” I know, technically they are cyborgs, but it was adorable anyway. Plus, we got to explain to her...

Definition of loving your kids.
asoulrendered: Leopard-crawling across the floor under the range of the XBox Kinnect so you don’t interrupt the Star Wars game your daughters are playing to get to the other side of the room so your son can show you something cool he built in Minecraft. Geek Parenting approves of gaming kids

A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child By Tina Fey
Though I am not religious I still wish some of these things for my daughter: A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child By Tina Fey “First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches. May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty. When the Crystal Meth is...

Damn you science! Conversation with my 5 year old
My 5 year old Xander was telling me about his day: “Today we played zombies, big Oliver was the zombie, we shot him with arrows and he would fall down then get back up again. so we collected C-Bombs and threw them at him, he fell down and was destroyed so he went to science and science fixed him so he came back, so we shot him with arrows again.”

Dice Training
Tonight my daughters homework required a pack of cards in order to create random 2 digit numbers.
