He invented the word 'nerd'. I never knew that. I didn't like Dr. Seuss as a kid because I early on developed a taste for fine art, therefore cartoons held no fascination for me. I always read the stories of saints and rarely anything else - well maybe Greek mythology and Grimm's Fairy Tales - but that is about it.
Now as an adult I like Dr. Seuss and the Simpson's.
So he invented 'nerd'. What is the origin of the word 'dork'? I'll look that up. What if it says, 'Terry Nelson'?
Oh my! I looked it up. I don't think people should use that term any longer.

Nope, I'm not looking it up...
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Loved the Grimm's tales & mythology as a kid, too. And read about some of the saints also.
Didn't read Dr. Seuss much as a kid either, although I love the Sneetches story. Books on fine art were okay- I like them more now than then. Encyclopedias are always fun.
Can't say that I watch the Simpson's that often- although it's still pretty popular from what I've heard.
Oh! I forgot - I used to read the dictionary and encyclopedias too!
