[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilarious!  My kid is so outside of the norm.  My techy, non-stylish 13 year old wanted Adafruit products and a Raspberry Pi, with a few sci fi/fantasy novels thrown in for good measure.

She would have no idea what to do with Lush bath products and would laugh at Lily Pulitzer (even though we belong to a country club).

I'm not making fun of your DDs by any stretch.  I'm just marveling at what a nerd I've raised. [/quote]

Here's the mind-blowing thing: my DD is the one who is into Lush lip scrub. She's a nerd at the same time. Must be a Venn diagram of nerdiness, huh? [/quote]

Must be.  I wish my nerd was interested in fashion and beauty products!  It's like I'm killing her if she has to put on decent clothes for an event.[/quote]

I'm the one with the DD into Lush, Lilly Pulitzer, and nailpolish, but to get her to put on deoderant daily is a total battle. :-)  And she is way into math and science, to the point that she repeats experiments at home that she learned in school and actually tracked down the teacher's experiment book so that she can do the experiments in advance before they get taught.  So being into fashion and beauty products doesn't mean that she is clean (though is a swimmer so at least she is fumigated daily by the chlorine) and it sure doesn't mean that she lacks nerdiness!![/quote]
