He did these for the whole alphabet, and the numbers 0-9, using laser engraving. Selling sets of these would probably be a legal nightmare, but who among us would not buy them, kid or no kid? I’d be willing to stay up all night and vomit just a tiny bit on my shirt if it meant convincingly walking into a baby store to buy these for “my son.” Then again, I kinda do that most nights anyway.

About The Author
Luke Y. Thompson has been writing professionally about movies and pop-culture since 1999, and has also been an actor in some extremely cheap culty and horror movies you will probably never hear much about (he is nonetheless mostly proud of them, as he met his wife on one). As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
