Is my Mom a geek?

My Mom is now a member of Geeks!
"Cool, but you're not a geek mom" I thought. Wait a second... She is 61, she is on Twitter, Facebook, she owns an ipod touch, a netbook, a wii?? Maybe she is far geekier than I thought?

Since then she has purchased a laptop, installed a wireless network, herself, at her house and now she is looking to buy an iPod.
She has worn out at least 5 Dr Mario64 games and been thru 2 Nintendo 64's. She's an addict...lol
It brings a tear to my eye when you discover that your parents are growing up...LOL; ▶ Reply to This

Back in '95 she couldn't turn on a computer and now she works for eBay. Now if I could just get her to spend more time on the computer rather than cursing at it we'd be good. lmao; ▶ Reply to This
