It’s inevitable that as children of the 80’s (and of the video game era, and the computer era, etc.) grow up they will start having children. It’s also inevitable that many will use those children to express their personalities, often with pretty amusing results. Here are 8 good examples of geek child rearing:
1. Dungeons And Dragons Baby
2. Ipod Parody Baby
3. Cthulhu Baby
4. Robot Child
5. Mario and Luigi Children
6. Ninja Baby
7. Ipod Baby
8. Princess Leia Baby

Hahaha
The first one is the best! Though Mario Bros also look cute

Old pics, but very cute! I love babies, they’re good eating!
(I kid! My son, when he was but a wee baby, loved getting “eaten,” i.e. tummy rubs and grubs!)

hahaha. a new generation of geeks are born.

I love the Mario and Luigi kids

More likely that a new generation of children who will grow up needing severe and prolonged psychological treatment for the mental trauma they suffered in childhood are born …

HaHa That is great

And the Lord spoketh: “Blessed be the Geeks, for they are the Light of the new dawn. Their productions be awesome, their inspiration equals mine, their spirit riseth up from the throngs of humanity”.

OMG! LOL! ROFLMAO!
11 Ford radiators // Feb 13, 2008 at 7:48 am
LOL, I like the look on the kid Luigi’s face he’s like “when are we getting out of here”
12 Lost in Minnesota // Feb 13, 2008 at 8:05 am
Sad that I know the Ipod baby and the parents are HUGE geeks.
13 Craig // Feb 13, 2008 at 8:36 am
The Level 1 Human onesie is great, but “iPood” made me lol.
14 JS1405 // Feb 13, 2008 at 9:24 am
The look on #2’s face is perfect for his shirt. Plus, he is also number 2. You have to think that was on purpose.
15 John // Feb 13, 2008 at 9:55 am
This is exactly why my kids are going to be in trouble one day. No n00blet onesy though, kinda disappointing

I don’t think you can own an iPod and call yourself a geek. iPods are among the most trendy gadgets out there right now.
Even dressing your kid up like an iPod doesn’t qualify you as a geek since people who love Apple (or Ubuntu or the Wii) that much are simply fanbois and super lame.

Where do I get these? I like the iPod Baby and the D7D baby shirts!
19 Wil // Feb 13, 2008 at 11:11 am
I find it amusing that the Cthulhu Baby has a t-shirt that says “Satan” on it underneath…

there is a better copy of that first tee at thinkgeek.com
here is my favorite geek tee - http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/kids/5e09/

I’m pretty sure my wife would not let me put our daughter in a Cthulhu outfit. It would take a special geek-geek marriage to let that happen. Maybe I chose my mate poorly.
22 geek mama // Feb 13, 2008 at 11:50 am
My Leia baby is cuter!!!

Every are so beautifull, but……I-POD PARODY BABY AJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJA…IT’S THE BEST
26 Adam // Feb 13, 2008 at 12:25 pm
The D&D stats baby is hilarious, but a lot of the other kids are just dressed in Halloween costumes. The ninja and Princess Leia pictures even look like they were taken out of catalogues. It’s not just geeks who dress their kids up on Halloween.
27 lolly // Feb 13, 2008 at 12:45 pm
a more realistic picture would have them dressed in a burlap bag with shackles on their arms and legs with a rfid chip in their necks

These are adorable! I know a couple that’s really into D&D and cthulu and it’s rubbing off on their kids. The iPood onesie killed me with cute lol.
30 Tommy // Feb 13, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Years ago, I remember seeing a baby in a onesie with the text:
“I
TCP
but mostly
IP”
31 Solusan // Feb 13, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Que cositas :”’)
32 Dungeon Master // Feb 13, 2008 at 7:30 pm
That’s pretty good armor for a baby.
33 almk // Feb 13, 2008 at 7:39 pm
A baby would totally have an AC higher than 6. I mean, base of 10, plus at least 2 for size. Babies are tiny, right? Then -4 for the Dex modifier. That’s 8!
If my husband knew I was even calculating this he’d be so proud. And, for the record, I wanted to make HIM a Cthulhu hoodie, but he wouldn’t wear it. Maybe we need kids so we can inflict our geekiness on them!

Cthulhu baby is the best.

46 Guillermo // Feb 27, 2008 at 1:42 pm
The first one is definitely the best.
47 the walrus // Feb 28, 2008 at 12:35 pm
The Ipod (#7) Outfit is the best. Baby itself is an Ipod, and one can even tickle his belly by “scrolling” the pad. Awesome!
Now if the baby starts singing, that would be something!
48 the walrus // Feb 28, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Manny, you got yourself a C3PO in actual size! how cool is that?
