I showed my kid to the serenity prayer:
 God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
 The courage to change the things I can,
 And wisdom to know the difference.
and he introduced me to Lord Byron's prayer for poo:
 O Cloacina, Goddess of this place,
 Look on thy suppliants with a smiling face.
 Soft, yet cohesive let their offerings flow,
 Not rashly swift nor insolently slow.
This demonstrates why you want to raise nerds.
