You can tell my nine year old has that bit of geek in him.
Today, I went to buy him a toothbrush. One that plays a song when it touches your teeth. The entire song is how long you should take brushing.
When I got home, I teased him. “I got you a new toothbrush,” I told him, “one that plays songs from High School Musical!”
“Ewww, NO!”
“I’m kidding, I think I got the Cheetah Girls.”
“Mom!”
“Actually, I got you The Theme from Rocky.”
“You got me a Stephen Hawking toothbrush? AWESOME!”
(He thought I said “I got you A Stephen Hawking” not “I got you the Theme from Rocky”.)
So yeah, my son knows who Stephen Hawking is, but not too clear on the Rocky thing.
They should make one with “I Love the Whole World” on it. That would get him a Stephen Hawking toothbrush.
Oh man. *I* would buy a “I love the whole world” toothbrush.
