I’m so proud that my kids like geeky stuff.
I think it’s so much better that my girls obsess over David Tennant and Benedict Cumberbatch than the latest pop music star boy group. I’d rather we watch intelligent BBC programming than Disney – or whatever it is that’s mindless and popular with tweens and teens. I am loving seeing my kids’ senses of humor developing with brilliant British jokes.
A great geeky company with loads of fun gifts is Thinkgeek.
