You know you’re a mom when…
Instead of talking to adults, you spell to them.
You think waking up at 7:00 is sleeping in.
You have more crayons in your purse than money.
Picking up another human and smelling their bottom doesn’t seem abnormal.
A trip to the bathroom includes an audience.
Going to the grocery store alone is a vacation.
You have more crayons in your purse than money.
You use the word “potty” when you are talking to an adult.
You have a secret stash of chocolate… for you.
You use baby wipes to clean the dash of your car, your bathroom, your window sills & your desk.
You understand why Mama Bear’s porridge was cold.
You have to announce that you are taking a shower because you know someone will need you in that ten minute time frame.
These are so great and incredibly accurate!!! I think each one made me laugh and say out loud “YEP”
