My wife has said she failed as a parent. Her daughters are not Nebraska Husker Football fans. They don’t understand the rules of football. I have failed as a father because they do not know the rules to wrestling. They don’t know what a torx, phillips head, or flat screwdriver are. They don’t understand the difference between and impact driver and a drill. But last night one of them spoke geek.
<Warning: WandaVision Spoiler Alert>
We were watching WandaVision and the episode ended with everyone confused except my middle daughter and me. We explained how the X-Men and mutants were intellectual property licensed by Fox, just like Spider Man. And when Disney bought Fox, they brought Spider Man back into the Marvel Universe but did not bring the X-Men or mutants into the Marvel Universe. Then last night, they did.
My daughter speaks geek. I am so proud.
