A list I made a couple of years ago

[ducktapehero]

I have a 4 year old son. A couple of years ago when he was toddling I made this list.


You might be the parent of a toddler if....


Everything you own is sticky

You realize that, compared with a screaming kid, Teletubbies aren't TOO annoying

You want to slap people when they talk about the "innocence" of children

You've been poked in the eye 10,000 times because your child just learned how to say "Eye"

You've bought your son over 50 Hot Wheels cars but only know where 12 are.

You're managing to lose things at an unprecedented rate since your kid discovered the concept of the trash can.

You make big plans for you and your spouse to have a romantic evening and you ship the child to Grandma's but after getting him/her up there you're too tired to do anything.
   
Crayons, walls, need I say more?

You can determine whether you will need to kiss the boo-boo by the sound of the "thunk"

You realize that the end of the child that makes noise is a lot more annoying than the end of the child that makes poopie.

NAP!!!! PLEASE JUST TAKE A NAP!!!

Shorts and cowboy boots is now fashion.

You realize the sheer genius of Dr. Seuss.

The look of your child's face when he gets his Christmas present, and then proceeds to break it, is priceless.

Even your pets have that "frustrated" look.

You can try to teach them a word over and over again and they look at you like your nuts, you say a cuss word once and it instantly becomes the most used word in their vocabulary.

Coffee, and the occasional stiff drink, takes on a new meaning of importance.

The local McDonalds (or other restaurants with a play place and a Kid's meal) treat you like royalty

The phrase "Don't pet the dog with cheese on your hands" has ever been said at your house.

The same with the phrase "Don't sneeze on the biscuits"

You realize that if we could tap into just 1 toddler's energy supply, the nation's energy crisis would be solved.

You've ever fished popcorn out of the fish tank

Despite all of the above, you wouldn't trade being a parent for anything in the world!

Even your pets have that "frustrated" look.
