You know you're a parent when...
...you are wearing a Hot Wheels/Barbie/Care Bears/Lightning McQueen/or some other character Band-Aid. At work.
Like this Strawberry Shortcake number I have on today.
The sad thing is that we weren't even out of the boring old adult kind. I just didn't have time to walk to the other bathroom and get one.

Kate - I love it. I have found myself wearing the backyardigans and scooby-doo... I didn't even have the excuse that either we were out of adult bandaids or I didn't get to the other bathroom, I just loved the nice reminder of how those bandaids made my kids feel better...and it was nice to take a minute to think about them throughout the day.

I knew I was a parent when I said "bye bye" in a high bright voice to a normal adult, who looked perplexed.

You know you're a parent when...
...you catch projectile vomit in your hands and it doesn't phase you.
...an under-3 child (your own) spits out a partially chewed bite of some amazing food and you eat it. Or maybe it's not even amazing, you just don't want to waste it. Ewww! Yes, I've done it.
..."sleeping in" until 7am on a Saturday is a luxury, and it totally makes you wake up happy. Because your little talking alarm clocks wake up before 6am on a normal day.

You have pacifiers in your purse!

You point out the "moo cows" in a field, when it's only you and your husband in the car!
