* you reach into your coat pocket, you pull out a Matchbox car, purple crayon, My Little Pony barrette, and used tissue before you fish out your car keys.
* the only writing utensil in your purse is a red Crayola marker.
* your spouse calls your purse your "five-day bag" because it's so massive and holds so many "I-may-need-this-someday" things.
* you only have Scooby Doo, VeggieTale, and Dora the Explorer bandaids.
* you where above stated, children bandaids to your professional place of employment.
* in a pinch, you are willing to wipe your wee ones snotty nose with your bare hand -- and you don't gag or even think twice about it.
* your idea of a relaxing Saturday morning includes grocery shopping without the wee ones.
* Perkins or Applebee's is considered a "fancy" restaurant.
* you consider it a major accomplishment to get out of the house in the morning with a clean shirt free of children's bodily fluids or latest meal.
And last but not least,
* you sing along to the VeggieTales CD in the mini-van AFTER you've already dropped off the wee ones.

Ah yes. I can relate to all your cute little quips. As a full-time father, this one: you reach into your coat pocket, you pull out a Matchbox car, purple crayon, My Little Pony barrette, and used tissue before you fish out your car keys, reminds me of my son. This was especially true at the grocery store here in London, UK.
And going shopping, alone, without my little one hanging on my arm, is an absolute delight!
Even walking up the street to the mailbox is a breath of fresh air.
Great post!
