As we kick off the summer, I’m bringing back an old favorite…
- You’ve ever used a silly band as a ponytail holder…in your own hair.
- You’ve built a fort despite the fact that it’s 2011 and you’re not colonizing a new land.
- You’ve not only stacked the plates when finished with a meal at a restaurant, but you’ve brushed the crumbs into a pile.
- You’ve ever used saliva as a cleaning agent.
- You’ve fallen asleep on the job.
- You’ve ever cheered because someone has peed in a toilet.
- You’ve sung songs with completely made up words, often with the purpose of convincing a child to do something (poop, pee, sleep, stop crying…) ((see also: number 6))
- You occasionally eat PBJ for lunch, even if you’re alone in the house.
- You sleep in jammies, not pajamas and certainly not lingerie.
- You’ve used, “Oh Pickles!” as a swear even when the kids are not around.
- You are not in any of your own vacation photos.
- You’ve got tiny fingerprints all over your touchscreen anything.
- You’ve ever used giving birth as an excuse for your appearance/weight/headache/the weather.
- You’ve shown people pictures of your stomach – both inside and out – intentionally.
- You can’t remember the last time you ate dinner without cutting food on someone else’s plate.
- You’ve accidentally cut the food on your husband’s plate.
- You think the first day of school is both the happiest and the saddest day of the year.
- You think the first day of summer is both the happiest and saddest day of the year.
- You’ve completely forgotten what people without kids do for fun.
- You’ve both laughed and cried while reading this list.
