my family = <3
I always knew that my stepfather was something of a nerd, but now I have no doubt but that I came by my geekiness naturally experientially.
My foster sister and her natural brother (aged nine and eight) had a communal birthday party, and my parents bought them all these little party toys. Included were these ... Chinese yo-yo things shaped like lightsabres. The kids had fun. After the party, Dad had even more fun.
DAD: *swings the lightsabre!yo-yo at me* Ha! cower, Rebel scum!
ME: They're not lightsabres without the sounds.
DAD: ...
BZZT. ZMMM. FWMM!!
ME: Death before dishonour! ZMMFT!!
Then he challenged me to Wii tennis. At first, he won overwhelmingly.
DAD: power!
ME: ?
DAD: by the power of Greyskull, I AM HE-MAN!
ME: lol you're a dork
Ten minutes later ...
DAD: how did this happen??? I won two games! *shakes remote*
ME: BY THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL I AM SHE-RA!!!
DAD: *cough*
Incidentally, I adore my nephew (actually cousin, but he's three and my aunt is thirty, so it's more like nephew/big sister).
MUM: so, there's going to be hell to pay.
AUNT DOROTHY: oh no --
TYLER: *cough* Scuse me?
MUM: Yes, sweetheart?
TYLER: Aunt Lowi, you said a bad word. Shouldn't do that.
MUM: ... *puzzled* oh, now I see. Yes, I did. That was very wrong of me. I'm so sorry.
TYLER: It's okay. Just don't do it again.
[later conversation]
MUM: *crying* and, and I didn't mean it like that, really I didn't --
AUNT DOROTHY: Lori--
MUM: I'M SO SORRY you know nothing's more important than our family, right?
AUNT DOROTHY: Yes, of course. Lori, seriously it's --
TYLER: *cough* Scuse me?
MUM: *sniffle* Yes, Tyler?
TYLER: I love you.
