Google

When you really wish there was a simple "google for parents" in which you could use to explain all the vast amounts of questions your preschooler asks, without risking inappropriate ads etc, and without paying a fee. 

* Can't claim this as completely my own thought, my former teacher and I were discussing this idea this past spring...*

Food Vacuum

When you had that tiny newborn at home and learned to eat one handed and quickly, when you went out to eat with a young baby and he/she woke up and you had to wolf down your meal while your other half held off the babe, when you became adept at the skill with two young ones at dinnertime, then and in so many other cases, that's when you knew you were officially a Parent Food Vacuum.

Disposal

You  have become a garbage disposal for any leftover food that needs to be eaten. I myself, have become resigned to making myself breakfast, now I just have a bit of toast and tea and a bit of leftover eggs. Yep, I'm a mom.

Scribble

Any paper left out is prone to the scribblings of a little one, including the scrap that was walked on by the dog that gives the title of a children's book to be as thought of by mother and son:

 

Uh, just in case you can't decipher the above: "Do Zebras Pass Gas? and Other Flatulence Facts" is the title, and yep, those were some other ways to say gas that we thought of. Ok now if someone else writes that one, you'll know who gave them the idea!

Going Out

When you are out at a show and you go to get out your wallet and find a tiny toy train in your purse. It was placed there earlier by your sweet child cause he wanted to make sure your going out purse was well stocked, even made sure Papa added some money for snacks, and offered water to take along.

Shower

When you realize how much you took for granted those lovely quiet showers in the morning back in the pre baby days.

Keys

When you have a set of those little plastic keys hanging alongside your own on the key hooks.
