You May be a Nerd if...

Listening to Alanis Morisette on the radio.

Christian: "Momma, that song is mean. Why are we even listening to it. It's so mean. Can I change the station?"

Me: "How is it mean? I haven't heard anything mean in it."
...
Christian: "It's calling people nerds. Listen...you see right there...
you live, you nerd
you love, you nerd
you cry, you nerd
you lose, you nerd
I mean, people can't help if they lose and then cry about it and it's mean to call them nerds."

Me: "Son, she's not calling them nerds. She is saying 'you learn'

you live, you learn
you love, you learn
you cry, you learn
you lose, you learn."

Christian: "What's the name of this song, anyway?"

Me: "Jagged Little Pill."

Christian: "What? What does that mean?"

Me: "fine, just change the station."
