I asked "So, how do they compare?"
He says "Staying home is mentally exhausting. I feel like a social dork most of the time. I don't get to talk to adults very much so in social situations with other adults I feel really dumb."
As I was TRYING to workout my shoulders I LAUGHED OUT LOUD in excitement. "So I'm not a natural social dork....I've been in training for almost 9 years!!"
Oh this is great news! I think I can be content being a social (blogging) dork as long as I'm in good company!:)
(be nice when you comment on this one!:))

You're not a dork!
Michelle ;)
Oh my word, this is so true! I swear I get 'stupider' (my own special word) when trying to talk to other grown ups every year!
You are not a dork, btw - it's great to get confirmation that hanging around kids can turn into, how shall we say, a less than maturely prepared adult in social situations. Did that work?
Well stated Jenn!
Personally I like self-acknowleged dorks, especially if they became that way by loving their kids and spending lots of time with them..
great - now I have to keep practicing til I break 90 ;) BTW, I didn't know you taught piano. That is awesome! I plan on taking lessons. Someday.
Thanks for that story, it hit the nail right on the head for me. There have been many times when I have felt that way, not knowing how to socialize properly with adults. I think your great and I always have a lot of fun when I am around you, so keep up the good work!:)
Megan, you are far less of a dork than I. You socialize great and you can talk to anyone. I am so reserved and insecure. I am a dork much more so. Maybe it's because I've been unsocial a bit longer. Addison is 12- so I've been out of the social loop way too long. I hope to think that I am getting to be less of a dork, atleast I am trying. You're awesome. Thanks for the cute posts.
So what's my excuse? How did I get to be such a dork? Do you think it's from hanging around Jared so much?
Shana

Bart -- I like you too:)
Jaime -- you go ahead and TRY:)
Sam -- if there's a way to properly socialize -- I am in TROUBLE. YIKES...
Alison -- sometimes I get sick of hearing my own voice:) LOL --I think maybe the grass is always greener.but yes, you do have 4 years on me!:)
Shana -- hmmm? I could go a long way with the Jared thing -- but NAH. You're not a dork -- just NICE!(although any Mom should fit in this category):)
