I'm a nerd, so what...!

My brother came to the house the other day and we began talking about our high school days.  Of course, me being the oldest of six, I was considered the “nerd” in the family.  The reason they think of me as a “nerd” or a “dork” is because I was always getting good grades in school, never dated in high school, and basically never did anything that I would regret later in life.  I was always the “good girl”.  

Now that we are older, I have spent more time with my brothers and sisters.  We seemed to be getting along more and they actually come to me when they have questions or problems.  And in doing so, I have learned a lot of things from them that I didn’t know before.  I can’t get into those things as this blog is only about ME. (Boring…I know!)

But anyway, getting back to my story.  If you know my brothers and sisters, you come to find out that they always have something to say (when there’s an opportunity, they always end up making fun of themselves or others).  And they especially love to make fun of me!  It just amazes me at times, how quickly they can come up with some remarks…

As I was saying, my brother and I got into a discussion of me being the “nerd” in school.  I wanted to tell him that there was nothing wrong with being a “nerd”.  “In fact.”  I said to him with pride.  “Just so you know, when they asked the senior boys who would they pick to be with if they were stuck on an island (and to my surprise) they chose ME!”

And without skipping a beat, my brother says, “Yeah, that’s because you had the most meat on your bones and they knew they wouldn’t go hungry!”

Grrrrr!   I could never win…!
