Nerd + 1 = Braden to the nth power

So last week I was sitting on Braden's bed and talking to him in his room. I realized that his quilt was a couple years old and I had been the one to pick it out. I asked him, "Do you still like your sports bedspread, or if we bought you another one would you rather have something else?" Nathan, who was sitting on the floor chimed in, "There are lots of choices. You could pick space, or dinosaurs, or even a plain color if you are too old for pictures on your bedspread." Braden thought for a brief moment, and then said, "I know what I would really like, but I don't know if they make it. I wish I could have a bedspread that has all different sorts of Math Equations on it."

Oh, goodness. Not that it's of prime concern to a 6 year old, but that's not a way to get the ladies...

I told him that indeed, I do not think they make that kind. And no, I am not going to try and make one. He'll have to make do with the bedding that normal boys have!

Brenda, I am Becky's sister Jenny. You can just let Braden know that I am looking for a man just like him + 20 years. And that is the very way to get some pretty awesome women! Don't stifle his nerdy tendencies. Feed, cultivate, and allow them to grow! :)

Brenda, I am Becky's cousin David. We are (apparently) a math family and we turned out somewhat normal, so don't worry about your son. I'm sure he'll get lots of girls.

Probably not really what he was thinking of, but this EXISTS:

Lisa, that is so funny. I actually had wallpaper made out of that same math pattern when I was 3. My mom chose it, but I suppose we have come full circle now!
