My kid is a geek.

The five-year-old and the dad are playing the Skylanders video game on the Xbox.

The seven-year-old is reading a book on the couch.

Noah has just made the characters exit the game because he's almost out of life. He wails, "Dad! I need life! Help get me life!"

Ben says, "I will, Noah. Get me back into the game and I will get you life."

Travis glances up from his book and says, "Kind of like a symbiotic relationship."

Then he goes right back to reading.

Geeks are awesome.
