Trekkies: The Next Generation

(My parents are, and have always been Trekkies. My childhood memories are of watching all of the seasons with my parents and brother before bed. I have just shown my mom a Star Trek meme about the dangers of being a red-shirt.)

Mom: “I don’t get it.”

Me: “You are a Trekkie, and you don’t get this?! You claim to have made me a Trekkie!”

Mom: “I didn’t make you this way! And it is strange that a 21-year-old girl is a Trekkie.”

Me: “You and daddy made me a Trekkie! It was not by choice!”

Dad: “What’s going on?”

Me: “Dad! What happens to red-shirts?”

Dad: “They don’t last long!”

(I am proud to be this man’s child.)
