Chris: Hey, can I throw this away?
Me: What is it?
Chris: The SDG&E bill I just paid online.
Me: No, give it here please.
Chris: Why?
Me: Library card.
Chris looked at me and, with that look on his face that says, I love you honey and you are so adorable but sometimes I think we inhabit a completely different universe, and said aloud, “Heh, you’re a nerd.”
And if you do not know why I need a copy of a recent bill with my name on it for my first library card in this city, then you are not a nerd and you do not belong in our secret club.
And if you do, well, kudos to you. As for me, I’m off to read a book…
