Very cute work!

And you make it sound like being a bookworm is bad! I found out very early on that books are your friends. Some amuse and entertain, and the others you learn from--sometimes even when you don't want to!

As for being a nerd, I guess that would have described me, too, at times. But my nerdiness was purposeful. I read and learned about engines, and by the time I was 16, I knew more than most of the adult men I knew about hot rod engines, and how to make one! LOL... I also knew how to make my own rocket fuel...and basically we were making dynamite in the garage. Some of our intentionally explosive concoctions were really dangerous.
I can't even imagine a kid getting away with some of the stuff we did. I blew a hole about 8 feet in diameter in the detached garage one Saturday morning--making rocket fuel--or more precisely, nitroglycerine. The ice house didn't have any dry ice that morning, so we were salting down wet ice, and the reaction ran away... a whole quart of nitro went 'bang'.
Needless to say, I worked for my Dad all summer--for free. But when the cops and fire department showed up, he told them no one was hurt, and that he'd deal with me. The cops just shrugged and left. Now they'd throw everyone in jail forever! CHuckle....
Oh, well. I still read, but not as much as I used to.

And to be fair, I got far less grief for the braces than I did for the bad teeth before the metalwork went on! They're pretty decent now, for a Brit...lol
I got the bad teeth as part of my half-Irish, I guess... My mom had no teeth of her own by the time she was 40.
