We are a science family! I guess

When Drew picked up Rachel after her first day of camp, she announced, "We're a science family!"

"Really?" Drew said.
"Yes," she replied. "You've said you like science, right, Daddy?"
"Yes," he said.
"And Mommy likes science, right?" she added. "So, we're a science family!"

This warms my heart, even if it is completely untrue because, while I liked parts of science, I couldn't properly dissect a cat to save my life, and I practically flunked physics in high school, and chemistry was mostly a mystery although I did manage to memorize the chart of all the elements. So I'm glad our daughter has STEM tendencies because I'm not sure I want to be extolling the virtues of a journalism degree -- or a liberal-arts eduction, unless she uses it to become a doctor or a lawyer.
