Geek vs. Nerd

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who visited my blog for the blog hop and giveaway.  You guys are awesome!  I wish I had a gift card for everyone who commented, but I don't.  I only have three.  (Maybe I'll have a stack of fifty for next time!)  

 Here are the winners (my kids drew the lucky names) :

Now for the story.

"Mom," my eleven-year-old daughter said.  "What's the difference between a geek and a nerd?"

I knew this was going to be an interesting conversation.  "I don't know," I said.  "I thought they were the same thing."

"No, Mom," she insisted, "there's a difference."

"What's the difference?" I asked.

"Geeks wear weird clothes and they're only into one thing.  Nerds are the brainy people with glasses and braces."

Okay.

She continued.  "Mom, what are you, a geek or a nerd?"

"Neither," I said. 

"I think you're a nerd."

"Why do you think that?" I asked.

"Because you're freakishly smart....and you smile too much."

"What?"  I couldn't believe she had just said that.

"Yeah.  That's weird, Mom!"

I busted up, laughing.

"See, Mom.  You're doing it, again."

"Sorry," I said.  "I'll try to frown more!"

So, ladies and gentleman,  what do you think?  Am I a geek or a nerd?
