"Athletic HS Record breaker" DH keeps making negative comments to me about geeks at DS's new gifted school. I keep telling him to embrace who DS is, notice how happy DS is with peers, he can be both intellectual and atletic, if you want him to be more athlectic do more with him, ect.
This joke always makes kids think and I use it when I hear kids making geek comments. They all know who Bill Gates is.
What do you call a geek when he is forty?
Boss.
if you want him to be more athlectic do more with him, ect.
Precisely. The parent has to step forward and make this happen.
Its very easy to be both athletic and a geek. Dad needs to step up to the plate.
