I know you've already heard about 7-year-old Katie, who got teased by kids at school for her Star Wars water bottle. They told her it was just for boys. As if.

The story has already gone viral, with girl geeks including Felicia Day responding, but today Huffington Post has this sweet interview with the author of the original story, Katie's mom.

I can't believe in 2010 that Star Wars is relegated to a specific gender. Or frankly anything nerdy. And in Chicago! Weird.

To borrow a phrase: It Gets Better, Katie! Someday those boys will be in love with you for your awesome girl-geekdom.
