Conversation with the Pooh in the car a few days ago, on our way to the grocery store:
Pooh: What grade will I be in when I’m 18, Mommy?
Me: You’ll be a senior in high school. That fall, you will be starting your first year of college.
Pooh: I want to go to Yale.
Me: Yale is a good place, but I would like you to be at a college that is right for you. That might be Yale, but it could be another school.
Pooh: I really like math, but I also want to learn how my Skechers light up.
Me: Then you might consider MIT. It’s a good place to learn about math and engineering. But that means you will have to be a nerd.
Pooh (scrunching up her little face): I don’t want to be a nerd.
Me: Really? That’s too bad. I’m a nerd.
Pooh: Then I’ll be a nerd too, Mommy. I want to be just like you.
Who knows where the Pooh will end up? Regardless of the school she chooses (and let’s be realistic, the one that chooses her), I hope she keeps the geek fires burning.
So cute!
