Let me start by saying that I've been watching *Power Rangers* since the beginning. That OG '93 Day One Ish ya'mean.
Anyways, I'm now a nurse and a couple of days ago, got thrown into the rotation of a ward that I hadn't worked in before. In the medical field, necessity dictates the pace. I just go where they say. Naturally, there was some small talk made with the staff I didn't know.
One very sweet old lady points at my tattoo and asks me what it means. I have four tattoos, but only one is visible in my scrubs.
I say, "Oh, these are my Master Stripes. I'm a huge Power Rangers fan."
She goes, "Oh, that's nice! Which is your favorite?"
I point at it and say, "Jungle Fury."
"Ohh." she says, "What color was that one?"
My brain rebooted. I seriously stood there in silence for like 90 seconds, caught between the embarrassment of being a supernerd that only has supernerd conversations with other supernerds and the hilarity of realizing that I used to have this exact same conversation with adults as a kid.
The more things change...
