So I gave the giant microbe plushes that I bought at Dragon*Con to my friends' kids, as planned. I asked Imogen, the older one, whether she ever got sick ("No.") and if she knew that when she got sick, it was because there were tiny little animals called germs in her body that were making her feel bad ("...:D") and that...here's what some kinds of germs look like!

Me: ...So anyway, I didn't just bring these here to show them off; I actually got them to give to some tiny nerds. Do you know anyone like that?
Imogen: No.
Me: No?! What about you; aren't you a nerd?
Imogen: No.
Imogen's dad: Imogen, who's the best Starship Enterprise captain?
Imogen: Picard.
Imogen's dad: Now, sweetie, I know we haven't talked about this, but...you're a nerd.
