1- You trade in your little sports
car for a mini-van.
2- Your CD collection consists of
Barney's greatest hits.
3- You can name every Sesame
Street character.
4- You believe that woman who had
the eight babies deserves a Congressional Medal of
Honor.
5- You put your good china in
storage and bring out the Rugrats plate and cup set
with matching place mats.
6- Instead of carpet your floor is
covered in legos, toy cars, and play dough.
7- Lucky Charms and cookies are on
your "necessities" shopping list.
8- You have to pack a bag with
diapers, toys, crayons, cookies, juice, and spare
clothes just to go to the grocery store.
9- A full nights sleep is a
distant memory, and a few minutes alone in the
bathroom is something you fantasize about.
10- You can't make lunch without
peanut butter.
