101 signs your kid is going to be a gamer

[ragefearmadness]

Kid grow in to gamers

I don't have any kids, but I used to tell my little brothers stories about Knights, Dragons and trolls. Both are classified as geniuses, both are in the G&T at their school and both play D&D now. Its funny how things work out. I think that there could be no better parent then a gamer. We can talk for hours about our in game exploits and sharing those stories (censored for some of the more vulgar content) to a child can mean the world to them. Because in those small hours before sleep the time we spend with children makes them feel loved and whole. I know very few gamers who can shut up after a five minute story, so their kids must view their parents as the most loving, wonderful people in the world. Just a thought.

Your three year old son has a semicircular scar under his chin from where he fell off of the gaming table and impaled himself on a d10. True story, messageboard mod Reiella can back me up on this sad fact. My son has shed blood for D&D already!

You have to get rid of that d10, you know, now that it's had a taste of human blood...

I have three kids, two of whom are full-blown geeks and one of whom is pre-literate but is trying.

88. Throws a fit because you did not yet buy the second Monster Manual and she has already memorized the first.

89. Watches FoTR for the first time and irritatedly points out where it differs from the books.

90. Insists on being a Warrior Queen, complete with chainmail, for Halloween.

91. Gets mad when not allowed to come along to Mama's D&D game, because she HAS a character sheet and her very own dice, so why not?

92. "MAAAAAAMAAAA! [Little brother] stole my d20 and he won't give it back!"

93. Attempts to use Jedi mind tricks on friends to persuade them to buy Girl Scout cookies.

94. Puts on toy One Ring and sneaks around the house claiming to be invisible.

95. Puts a pillowcase over her head and pretends to be a Ringwraith.

98. Your last name is Gygax.

99. Your last name is Cook - ever notice the number of cooks that have written for D&D, and very few of them are related... its like being named Jim and playing the guitar.
