Nerds!

Nerd: : an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially : one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits. Wow Webster, that's a bit harsh. But I'm not referring to that kind of nerd. I'm referring to the small, yet satisfying, tangy crunchy candy made my none other than Willy Wonka, the nerd. I think it's safe to say that everyone on planet earth enjoys nerds, and if they don't, well then, they don't I guess. But anyways, onto my story dealing with this delicious, almost microscopic candy.

A few days ago I brought a box of nerds into my sociology class, you know the class that you need something to keep you entertained. So I brought in a box of nerds. This woman, and I do say woman, because she is one of those older people who later on in life decided to get their college education, towards the end of class almost rudely said, well where's my box of nerds? Keep in mind, I've never once spoken to this woman nor do I even know her name. I politely smirked, shrugged my shoulders, and then carried on eating my nerds in front of her. The next time the class met, she asked me again where her box of nerds was. I mean, how the heck was I supposed to know? And I thought she was joking! But today, I decided that I would bring the woman, whose name I still do not know, a box of nerds. I was already sitting in my desk as she rushed into class almost late when I handed her the box of Lemonade Coated Cherry Nerds. She kind of looked at me like, it's about time, but then said, thank you so much, you really just made my day! I then kindly repeated back, you're welcome, I'm glad I could.

Even though I've never spoken to this woman before, who I still don't even talk to in class, it was really cool to make her day with a simple thing such as giving someone a box of candy. I really do think all along she was just messing with me, but yet secretly really wanted a box. And the fact that I actually brought her one, took her by surprise and made her day. I encourage you to just do something simple for a complete stranger, ok well maybe someone you somewhat know, and just try your best to make someone's day... because it isn't always about us! And I mean, if you handed me a box of nerds, depending on the flavor of course...just kidding, you'd make my day!

In the mean time... Cheez-Its are way better than Cheese Nips.
