Signs you've made the transition to being a parent............

1. You sing songs from 'Elmo in Grouchland' to all of your friends at the monthly poker game.

2. You walk up to the cashier to pay for something and pull a pacifier instead of cash out of your pocket, prompting the cashier to say "we don't accept pacifiers as payment at this store".

3. You generally don't care nearly as much if a child is fussy at a nearby table in a restaurant.

4. You admit to friends and family that the Gerber Turkey & Gravy jar food doesn't taste bad at all.

5. You can do a full cleanup of the toys in your living room in 1 minute or less.

6. You're able to anticipate the stupid stuff that your baby does before they even get to attempt it.

7. Your dog no longer even tries to run from the baby's attacks and instead just deals with it as best he can.

8. Your female co-workers force you to print multiple baby pictures to cover the walls of your office. Having a picture on the desktop of your computer is not good enough.

9. You have no problem wiping snot from your baby's nose with your bare hand and then wiping it off on your shirt or pants.

10. You assume that the socks your baby is wearing will only remain a pair for the initial wearing. After that, it's just a bunch of orphan single socks in the drawer.
