    If your kids aren't fazed by the fact that they haven't seen daddy in 3 days and don't even ask about him. At all.

      Right on, Kelly!
      That's why I still call dd "California Baby."
      I was even pregnant with her in two different states!

      I've got nothing to add really, except that I often say "you're a doctor!!! What does dd have?!??!"

      And he says "I'm not a pediatrician!!!"

      Drives me nuts!

        When your six year old corrects well meaning adults that his dad is NOT a cardiologist he is a heart surgeon. He then goes on to describe that even interventional cardiologists are NOT surgeons. They are a kind of heart doctor but they aren't surgeons.

        When your eight year old asks why she can feel so lousy when she doesn't have a fever, she isn't bleeding, has not thrown up and her bowl movements are fine? I ask her why she would ask that and she said that's "Daddy's check list for staying home from school. If you don't have those things mom, Dad says you aren't sick."

        When your school aged kids have an evening function their first question is if "Dad's on call?"

                If your children have ever had a medical textbook or paper read to them in lieu of a bedtime story.

                If your 12 year old has ever kept Daddy's pager beside her during her school day (at home) so she can text him if he gets any pages.

                    When your kids ask which day your family will be celebrating Christmas.....and when they have a very flexible sense of when birthdays and other holidays should be celebrated.

                            Sorry to be a downer and I know it is inevitable, but the post about kids knowing their dads will not be home for an event or not seeing them for days makes me sad

                                We have no kids, but DH had the following exchange with one of the PGY-2's 3yo daughters...
                                A: "What's that?"
                                DH: "That's one of Lexi's (the dog) nipples. Let's count them"
