I was driving to the shops the other day and did something silly that made me laugh a bit at myself and think "Yep, only another parent would understand..!" I got thinking and thought I'd share for a bit of a laugh...

You know you're a parent when:

- You're in the car and see a bus (/truck/horse/cow/digger/tracktor) and exclaim in a loud excited voice "BUS!" (truck/horse...) only to remember that you've left the kids with the ILs

- You realise you've spent more on designer nappies than designer lingerie

- You know the 5 Steps to Bedtime pretty much inside and out

- You have more baby feeding spoons in your drawer than tea spoons

- You take more pleasure out of choosing your child's outfit than your own

- You have a mild aversion to slobbery dog kisses but look forward to those gorgeous slobbery toddler kisses

- You can't remember the last time you had more than 5 hours sleep in one block but the kisses mentioned above more than make up for it

- You've grown so used to drinking cold tea/coffee that if someone makes you a hot one you actually have to leave it for a good hour before you can drink it

- You can't remember the last time you got through the day with your clothes untouched by vomit, pee, dribble or some sort of sticky food substance

- There is no chocolate/biscuits/sweets of any kind visible in your pantry - but you have a mega stash hidden somewhere sneaky like the oven or inside the (broken) dishwasher

- You buy some fish and name them Giggle and Hoot

- Your TV spends more time on ABC2 than all the other channels combined
