So it's about an hour past DD's bedtime last night and DH and I are watching TV when suddenly he gets a notification that she's posted something on youtube... It appears the darling was up watching Epic Rap battles of all time - Bill Nye vs. Sir Issac Newton when Neil degrasse Tyson came on (current version of Cosmos) to back up Bill. Apparently one of the other watchers said hey - it's Morgan Freeman, and DD had to jump in to correct him. Don't know if we should be proud or pissed. I guess we are doing our part to raise a proper geek

Remind your little girl that good geeks need their shuteye. And tell her she's off the hook - this time - for being right.

I would have posted back "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" -dad. Would have been worth it to see her reaction. I'd be too busy laughing to punish her. But I would tell her that correcting the idiots of the world can wait until morning.

There has to be a joke or life lesson in here somewhere.

I once got busted by my wife. She was out of town and we said good night on the phone. I stayed on facebook as available. I get a post from her "what are you doing up?" I like The Captains DD's choice of shows.

DH has the WiFi set up to cut off at 10 pm on the kids devices. When DD3 came home from college for Xmas, she had forgotten about it, and couldn't figure out why she was cut off suddenly.

I'd forgotten we could do this. I'll have to remind DH to reset the controls (which were probably reset in the move).

I was up one work night waiting for my nail polish to finish drying. It was around midnight. I was literally on Facebook for maybe three minutes. I signed out and closed the Kindle browser. A couple minutes later my phone buzzes with a Facebook message. It was from my grandma telling me to go to bed. I had to laugh.
