Conversation overheard on a Sunday evening:
Me: Kyra can watch her show and I’ll stream an episode of Doctor Who. Then, we can read.
Andrew: No, no, no! Mom, don’t become one of those people!
Me: You mean a Doctor Who fan?
Andrew: Yes!
Me: Are some of your friends fans?
Andrew: Kind of.
Me: Little obsessed, are they?
Andrew (eye roll): …
Me: Well, I just started watching it. I like it.*
Andrew (head in hands, muttering into the pages of his AP World History book): No, no, no, no, no.
Kyra: Dr. Seuss? Can I watch?
* Yes, I know. As of last night, I’ve only watched two episodes of Doctor Who. I have now given up any pretense of nerd/geek cred.
