You hum the plink-plunky melody of your child’s favorite wind up toy in the grocery store line-up.
Your idea of a fun outing includes going for milk at the local corner store, and a stop at the Instant Teller.
A late night for you is 10:00 p.m.
When you reach your hand into the bedside table to find your hand lotion, all you can find is diaper rash cream.
You only have 3 loads of laundry to do today!
You haven’t been to the movies in over a year, and cannot remember the last movie you even watched.
Every book you have read in this past year has chapters including: sleep, feeding and nutrition, growth and development and learning.
You have no problem smelling someone else’s bottom.
The channel you watch most is Treehouse T.V.
You long to drive a mini-van.
You have a cupboard in your kitchen that is entirely full of tupperware, and easily accessible to any person under 3 feet tall.
Your relaxing bath ritual has been replaced by bathing your toddler, who delights in splashing so much water on you, that you need to change your clothes afterwards.
At any given moment, the CD in you stereo might be a)David Bowie b)Sharon, Lois and Bram or c)Broken
There is nothing breakable within 3 feet of the ground in every room in your home.
And…
You *definitely* know you’re a parent when every time you hear your child say “Mama,” it is the best feeling in the world 😀
