Because it was the 90's and NEEEEERRRDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Science didn't really get cool until cell phones became huge. Then it all became about tech and everything science.

[(Anonymous)]

Indiana Jones came out in the 80s and Jurassic Park was '93. I don't think dinosaurs were that uncool even at the time.

NAYRT: Very good point, but it was still something ten year old boys were supposed to find interesting, not grown adults.

And honestly, even now I know people who would mock or at least not understand science-minded friends. My brother-in-law was offended when someone suggested his son join the science club in school because "my son's not a nerd."

[diet_poison]

shit. I kinda feel for your nephew tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT - Yeah. I don't think my nephew was actually into the idea, someone just suggested it as a way to get him as involved as his older brother, but I still don't like that his father thinks like that.

[diet_poison]

Yeah, it's not that he *has* to be into science as a hobby but just that it always bothers me when parents have this limiting attitude towards their kids. :/

Says a colleague: [My daughter] can't play football, she always gets hurt! She came home the other day and her entire knee was scraped open. I think it's best if she practices a safer sport like ballet.

I almost spat my drink all over her lunch in surprise, but honestly this would be a bad attitude to have even if her idea of a safe sport wasn't ballet.

I'm pretty sure your kid is old enough to weigh the benefits of playing footie against the drawbacks of scraped knees (which, IIRC from myself, kids her age find gruesomely fascinating or don't care about, depending on how bad it is).

[diet_poison]

yeesh.

Scraped knees are incredibly common and incredibly not a big deal. I'd go as far as to say they're a normal part of growing up. :/

And yeah, that ballet was her first choice is a bit suspect too...
