"How do you know you have a geek child? On losing his first tooth, his first question is 'Can we measure it?'

"How do you know you have a geek mom? You just happen to have a caliper to measure the first lost tooth."

-- Elizabeth Schechter ( [info] ladysmith / @EASchechter), 2013-02-16, reposted to LJ from two tweets she'd posted

It's a wonderful tale!
Brings back memories of calculating my brother's surface area, then doing chicken-pox counts in a random sampling (little-sister selected) of square inches of skin.

Nice.

My child-geek experience involving teeth was when I lost a tooth but my parents didn't immediately know, so I decided to conceal the fact to test the tooth-fairy premise. The next day, assured of what I had strongly suspected, I then announced the "newly-lost" tooth and made sure I got the loot the next night. :-)
