These are not all the possible signs — not by a long shot. But here are ten that can be telltale indicators (and perhaps badges of honor as well):
- You named your children any of the following: Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, Aragorn, Arwen, Bilbo, Frodo, Starbuck, Ash, Buckaroo, or Dent Arthur Dent.
- You haven’t vacuumed the living room for fear the Lego bricks might break the Roomba.
- The description of your home theater setup includes the words “RAID array.”
- Your kid’s college fund is based on your comic book collection (props to Kathy C.’s earlier post on Signs You’re Married to a GeekDad).
- Family trip destinations almost always include “-con” in the name.
- Your daughter considers herself a self-rescuing princess.
- Your son practices the tenets of chivalry and/or IDIC at preschool.
- Your babies’ names are already secured as both domain names and Twitter handles.
- March 14th and September 22nd are considered special holidays at home.
- Episode IV comes first: it’s just good parenting.
