10. You have no idea who Jarule or Enimen are but you will hold on the phone for an hour to spend the last dollars of your paycheck to get tickets to The Wiggles.

I actually find myself singing fruit salad when my son isn't around!

A binkie clip is an accessory to your wardrobe.

(A couple of months ago when Emma was taking a binkie more often, I had taken her binkie clip off and stuck it on my shirt, without thinking. I walked around the party we were at with a binkie clip attached to my shirt, until someone said "Oh how old is your daughter?" and I wasn't even holding Emma.)

You know the exact moment when your child will throw up....and you catch it in your hands.

... You find yourself cutting all the food on your plate into little tiny pieces before starting to eat!!!!!

The spit-up/vomit one came to mind as well. I actually commented to someone you know you are a mom when.. you catch your child's spit-up.

Here's another one-
"You have no Kleenex to wipe your child's runny nose, so you use your own shirt."

...you spend at least 15 minutes putting your child's outfit together and then throw on whatever happens to be clean for your own outfit. ...it is socially acceptable to walk around wearing a shirt with baby spit-up or whatever your child happened to have for lunch on the shoulder.
