You Know You’re A Toddler When . . .
- You resist daily naps.
- You can’t wait to brush your teeth.
- You brush your teeth with a fairy toothbrush and bubblegum toothpaste.
- At the supermarket you jump up and down as high as you can, giggling uncontrollably, and no one calls the cops.
- At the supermarket you jump up and down as high as you can, screaming uncontrollably, and no one calls the cops.
- You know how important snacks are. And you know that carrots can’t be considered a real snack.
- You judge the entire experience on the last two minutes.
- The coolest outfits have your favorite cartoon character on it. Bonus points if your panties and t-shirt have matching characters.
- The all-important question for a new friend is, “What’s your favorite color?” closely followed by, “What’s your favorite animal?”
- You use half the toilet paper roll in one wipe.
- Your greatest achievement in life is making it all the way across the monkey bars.
- People yell at you when you go near a street.
- Eating two cupcakes makes you act like you’re on crack.
- The toilet bowl is a sink your size. People freak out when you wash things in it.
- You’re never tired.
So let’s face it . . . are you a toddler?

/ July 7, 2012I think my husband, who is currently wearing a Felix the Cat shirt, while he brushes his teeth with Spongebob toothpaste and spits into the toilet, is a toddler. To be fair, the bathroom sink is dismantled, but still. . .

I still like to jump up and down occasionally although not in the store and I sometimes look forward to brushing my teeth…

/ July 7, 2012I think the part about making a judgement on a new experience based on its end could apply to all of us, whether we want to admit it or not. Good post!

/ July 24, 2012Great stuff. If you like the same toys, you are best friends. Until you want the piece he has. Then it is a battle to the death.
