If You're Not a Parent of a Toddler . . .

If you're not a parent of a toddler, you probably don't do the following things on a daily basis . . .


1. Tell someone every time you go to the bathroom.
2. High five someone.
3. Ask someone over and over again to say your name.
4. Verbally label everything around you ("Those are leaves." "That's Daddy's coffee cup.")
5. Read the same book three times in one day.
6. Awaken to the sound of classical music played by a glow worm.
7. Pretend to put salt on someone's food because they won't stop whining and pointing to the salt shaker until you do.
8. Refer to yourself in the third person. (Oh, wait, I DO know someone who is not a parent that does that. His name is Elmo).
9. Ask someone to show you your belly.
10. Ask someone to make the sounds of various farm animals.
11. Have someone shake their head and push away the food you serve them. Even if you aren't a bad cook. Even if it's just a banana.
12. Have someone crawl on you as if you are, in fact a jungle gym.
13. Yell "Aaahhh!" because some type of tower has fallen town.
14. Make the sound "Choo choo" or "Vroom vroom."
15. Bribe someone with pretzels so they don't scream as they accompany you through Walmart.

That's all I have for now, other than the obvious wiping, wiping, wiping of faces, noses, hands, bottoms, tables, counters, etc. I'm sure there are about a million more.

And that's what's happening on Boomerang Drive this week! Make sure you have voted in my poll, by the way!

I would like to add...put random items on your head - pants, cups, bowls, blocks - just to get someone's attention (and you are doing this while you are sober!!)
