    -Kids immediately inquire whether dad was either on-call last or moonlighting the previous night if I shush them.
    -They love recruiting season because it means they get pizza delivered while we're running off to yet another dinner.
    -The oldest looks forward to recruiting season so she can fund a healthy chunk of her car savings account from all the babysitting.
    -They don't even bother trying to stay home from school unless there's significant fever, projectile expulsions of bodily fluids, or copious quantities of unexplained blood.
    -Whenever they're injured or feeling gross, they don't go to the parent with a medical degree because they know they'll hear some incarnation of "Eh, you're fine. I saw a kid in he ER last night who was REALLY sick..."

    Every one of these has occurred this week.

      Bumping this one to add:

      When you're going somewhere as a family and the kids are surprised that the doctor gets in the same car with the rest of us. "Daddy take uh byoo car?" "Nope, Daddy's not taking the blue car, he's off call now and we can all ride in the same car, can you believe it?"

      On a related note, if you've ever taken separate cars to date night even though you live together.

        After three days of your husband leaving before the children wake and returning after they've gone to sleep, your 3yo very calmly asks you whether daddy didn't come home last night. You don't even blink.

            ...instead of calling someone a dick, your kid calls them a penis because they know that they won't get in trouble if they use the technical term to describe the asshole.

              Your teen cuts herself on something metal and is reminded and lectured by both parents on the benefits of the DTAP booster she received a few weeks ago.
