Part I…because I’m sure I’ll have more tips to offer as we get further down this nerd-dom road.
Step 1: Marry and reproduce with a fellow geek.
Step 2: Introduce technology upon birth.
Step 3: Create subtle geek associations in your child’s brain by comparing them to characters from your favorite movies.

——————–
Step 4: Read, read, read! (Then, contemplate taking your 4 year old to the midnight showing of the Hobbit next week.)
Step 5: Tell your children that public school is the devil and homeschooling is the only way you’ll get to heaven.
Step 6: Subject them to hours and hours and hours of musical theater.
Step 7: Sit back and reap the rewards of your hard work.
(The “Rancor” is also known as the “Monster one” or for the simple minded – “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.”)
QUESTION: Would you label yourself as a “geek”? Is it just me or has this connotation only gotten sexier?!?!
splendid…lindsay
I can’t wait until part two. This is adorable, and I’d love to be your kids. Geeks FTW.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I hope someday to have fabulous geeky children too. (The boyfriend plays the clarinet and I’m a teacher, I think we have a good start.) I plan to indoctrinate my kids on The West Wing and Bourne movies at birth….
This is amazing! Star Wars and musicals are the best!
My dad read the hobbit and lord of the rings to me starting when I was 5!! Ahhh love it. I’m totally a geek. I love trivia games/shows, renaissance festivals, sci-fy movies, and puzzles. Everyone has a little geek in them. :)
I’m such a geek. I love it. I think the only way to go is to embrace your inner nerd and geekdom (different things, and I have them both). :)
Ah, I can relate! My kids are grown and nearly grown (just one at home left, 15…) and they are all geeks! I read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to them when they were wee folk, and we watched endless Star Trek. My 17 year old is now a freshman studying astrophysics at a great university (now THAT is geeky! Ha!) and my youngest is at a media arts high school developing his modeling and animation talents. Geeks rule! Love your costumes – you have a darling family.
haha! I love it!
Hahahaha this is too funny! I would definitely label myself as a geek, without a doubt. And one day I hope to have some nerdy kids too! :)
so funny!!
This is so super adorable! Especially the comparison of your kids to characters from your favorite movies. Love it. I’m definitely a geek as is my husband and our boys are such little dorks. It’s kind of endearing.
the princess and the bride reference is priceless! i hope i have kids like yours!
