I am a geek parent. Here is the unnecessary proof. Our baby has a Lamaze Soft Sorter (thanks Gwen!). Inside are four objects. Normal folks would be content to say to the baby “here’s the circle! here’s the square! here’s the oval! here’s the triangle!” But no, I have to say “here’s the sphere! and the cube! the cylinder! and the … triangular prism!” (I had to look that last one up.) I need serious help — or the baby will.
