Geekiness: It's in the genes.

Dad: "What do you think of the new living room arrangement?"
Lili: "I like it. Loved the green."
Mother: "We still need to do something about the blank wall."
Dad: "Maybe have a painting or something. Like, Michaelangelo and whatnot."
Lili: "Oh my God, can we PLEASE paint a STARGATE?!?!"
Mother: "Uhh, a Stargate."
Dad: "A Stargate?"
Lili: "Yeah, you know, all blue and shiny and-"
Dad: "Or, or, better idea. How about a dark night landscape, like forest, and in between the trees, we have Asgards!"
Lili: "YES THOR!! And we can have a Stargate in the background??"
Dad: "Yeah, and you can't really see them, but they're there."
Mother: "You know what I'd want? From Lord of the Rings, a dark landscape, with a white horse and Liv Tyler on it with a cloak."
Dad: "Uhh, I do like Liv Tyler."
Mother: "Yeah, and it would be rather mystical and..."
Lili: "I can totally do Lord of the Rings."
Dad: "It should be something that gives people goosebumps when they see it."
Lili: "Oh, I know, how about the scene when Aragorn is all 'My friends, you bow to no one' and then everyone bows down to the Hobbits and man.
Dad: "Or when Frodo gets stabbed! You know, the Wraith are coming up the hill and-"
Lili: "You want it to give them goosebumps, not terrify them."
Dad: "But it's so cool!"
Lili: "OR, OR, WE CAN PAINT ON THERE GANDALF-"
Dad: "WHEN HE RAISES THE SWORD-"
Lili & Dad: "AND IS ALL 'YOU. SHALL. NOT. PAAAAAAS!!!!'
Lili: "CAN WE PLEASE PAINT THAT ON OUR WALL, PLEASEEEEE?!?!?!"
Mother: "I want something Harry Potter."
