The Other Requisite Geek Attire

It's all well and good if you can wear the costumes, but do you really have what it takes to be called a Geek, and a Nerd?  This morning, Lil' Bro proved he does and acquired his other requisite Geek Cred Card for this school year:

The event was loud, long, and full of other people getting pretty ribbons he did not get, so there was a lot of this over on his part of the floor (the demon stink-eyes and cloud of smoke rising must have been mostly my imagination, surely, *wink*---might have been the malfunctioning camera, too):

And then, finally, at the very last set of awards they gave out (an hour of sitting still in a crowded noisy room where everyone else got things and he didn't), he got to go up on stage.  Of course, because of his disabilities and balance problems, he can't stand on risers.  Not to worry, Lil' bro doesn't mind equalizing a playing field to his advantage, even if it embarrasses da Mama:

Nevertheless, he has done remarkably well this year, and for that my hat is off to teachers...I will bring your teacher presents after school and meet you in the parking lot...your answers to my impromptu "Red, or white" question were quite helpful---NOW GO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR HUSBANDS and forget about all the daily fun of teaching for a bit.  Thank you all, from the bottom of my geek mom heart.
