When being a Geek goes wrong

[James Patrick]

My four-year-old twins had swimming lessons tonight. One of them did something pretty well, got excited, looked at my wife and I in the bleechers and said, "I did it! I did it!" My wife was next to me so I said, "Great kid, don't get cocky" so that she could hear me but my kid couldn't. I gave him a smile and the thumbs up while I said it. Well, one of the other parents could hear me too, I guess, completely missed the reference, and gave me a dirty look.

[I AM GROOT!]

Such a bad parent.

I thought this thread was titled "WHEN BEING A GREEK GOES WRONG" and, so help me GOD, I was trying to make it all fit... and now I'm a boob.

Whoever does not get that reference should be kicked in the nads.

yeah. i did it with the exact inflection too, which only made things worse if you didn't know what i was doing.

again though, my kid just saw me smiling and giving the thumbs up.

All that matters is that your kid was happy. Don't worry about some moron who doesn't know shit about Star Wars.

Some parents are just too uptight.

i can't believe there's actually still someone in the world that hasn't seen star wars!
