The Berger's Robot Family of 26
May 29, 2008______________________________________________________________________________________________
CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- The Berger family had a brand new edition to welcome to their home on Sunday afternoon. Jessica, the newest Berger and twenty-sixth child to Joseph and Megan Berger was born at 2:38 p.m., weighing in at 6 lbs 10 oz. However this baby will not require diaper changes and milk, but alignments and oil.
Megan Berger, at 23 years old has never been able to have children so five years ago her husband Joseph started building baby robots for her. The robots don’t grow in size but they gain intelligence and learn at the pace of a human child.
What we’ve recently come to find when visiting the Berger’s home is baby robots, everywhere. After Joseph built one and saw how happy his wife was, he said he couldn’t stop. And he doesn’t plan to stop, “ I’ve got two babies in the making as we speak”. The basement is Joseph’s “workshop” with metal parts and baby parts lying all over the place, the upstairs on the contrast is pleasantly inviting with twenty-six baby robots all playing around a stack of toys.
