This is one I had to participate in.
You know your a mom when...
-you don't really have an answer to the notoriously annoying "why" questions so after the first few you answer "because that's how God made it."
-you are walking out of the Y and your 5 year old is throwing a fit, instead of grabbing said child and whisking them away to your car you mention "if your gonna get in trouble for throwing a fit you should probably do a better job." Said child stomps foot and make guttural/growling noises at you. "No buddy more like this" stamp foot way harder than child is capable of and in a good loud whiny voice "but I don't want to, it's not FAIR!!!" Child is staring open mouthed (as well as many other Y patrons) he quietly proceeds to the car. (just want to mention that I WON!that right, I am not above beating a 5 year old in a whining contest.)
-you can name off almost every bathroom in the zoo. (and various other child friendly facilities)
-you hear a loud bang in the front room/ "formal living room" (you know, the one with the basketball hoop in it) and your response is "bring me what broke and the super glue"
-you carry snacks, drinks, crayons, diapers, wipes, etc... in your purse, but never anything you need like a pen or any feminine supplies.
I am pretty sure I could go on forever, but I need a shower and the baby is sleeping (so I have a very short window of oppertunity)
