2. You lick your finger before wiping something off your husband/companion’s face.
3. Your name is called the moment you close the bathroom door.
4. You possess a look that can stop people instantly in their tracks.
5. You have a large supply of recycled birthday and Christmas gift bags featuring cartoon characters, Santa, and superheroes.
6. Your Pinterest boards titled DIY, Fun Stuff, and Recipes are filled with things that a child would love.
7. You have said, “She’s not here,” when your name is called for the 50th time that day.
8. You could win a game show based on the Nickelodeon and Disney TV shows, characters, and theme songs.
9. The last 3 movies that you went to see at the theater were Rated G.
10. You purposely lose points on the Wii Michael Jackson Experience game, even though you have known the moves for 20+ years.
What is a sure sign that you are a mom?
Does your mother or any mothers you know exemplify any of these 10 signs?

LOL! Yes to all of these, especially being called as soon as the bathroom door closes and saying “she’s not here”. I say that all the time. Stopping by from Turn It Up Tuesdays!
What is it with the bathroom?! Thanks Danielle.
Stopping in from Tune it up Tuesdays. My kids are younger so I am not quite at those yet, but I did know I was a mom when I uttered the words “we don’t like public toilets” to my toddler at Lonestar one day!
Public toilets! Ha. Thanks for stopping by.
lol some of these are me for sure and I am a mom! Stopping in from Turn it up Tuesday!
Thanks Suzie! I appreciate it.
Great list! You know you’re a mom when…you get crayons and markers for your birthday and then immediately have to share them! Stopping by from #LOBS!
Ha! Thanks Rabia.
Yes! Yes to all of these! We’re just starting to introduce Malone (age 4) to Michael Jackson. He’s obsessed with Thriller right now. SO FUN!
I have a video on YouTube of my 6 year old doing a MJ song and dance medley at age 4! He is still crazy about Michael Jackson. I’m afraid to tell him that he’s no longer with us. Not sure how he’ll react. 🙁
I usually say “she’s not here” after the third “Mommy!”
I knew I wasn’t the only one! Yay! Thanks, Herchel.
LOVE this list! =0) It made me smile.
Good! I had fun drafting it.
Can’t wait to join you for the good, bad, and the ugly my dear!
You are growing to be saying and doing the same stuff! I’m pretty sure about that.
Well I guess I’m a mom! Oh how I hate when I can’t go to lady’s room without my name being called 🙂
It’s like my son knows that I’m going in the bathroom before I do. Thanks, Chene.
Number 7 cracks me up. I’m not a mom yet, but I can totally see myself saying that someday!
My son actually gets a kick out of me saying it too sometimes. Thanks, Melissa.
Great list! I’m not yet guilty of all of these, but I can see I’m already on my way there. Especially number 1 and 7.
I really started calling other people’s kids “baby, honey, and sweetheart” when I started working at a high school. Didn’t have my own child yet and had never worked with kids. It helps when you forget names, too. Thank you for stopping by, Leslie.
LOL This is on point, Kimberly. I’m not a mom, but these items all fit the bill!
Glad you agree, Alison.
Not a mom in this house, but I still enjoyed reading this list.
Thanks, Aubrey! I appreciate that.
Yes. I am definetly a mom! I LIVE for the day I can go to the bathroom alone! LIVE I tell you!
I have to lock the door! No matter how many times I tell my 6 year old not to open a closed bathroom door, he still insists on trying to because he just can’t wait. LOL. Thanks, Lashawn!
I resemble those remarks!!!! lol Except the Michael Jackson one, but I’ve been known to throw other games. 😉
My 6 year old gets so upset when we play the Michael Jackson game and he dances his butt off only to lose to me. So I “throw” the game sometimes. It gives you a good workout though.
#4 is my mom and I inherited that look. I am going to have to use, “She’s not here.” #3 SO freakin true – I don’t get it.
I say “She’s not here” all the time. So much so that my son says it before I get a chance to sometimes. That’s when I give him the look.
Your list is funny! How about you wonder why no one seems to understand the hamper is right next to that spot on the floor where everyone throws their clothes?
Ha! That happens at your house too? LOL
This list is hilarious!!!
I’m sure as soon as I click submit I will think of lots of things that I could add – maybe that’s my sign – slow thinker!!!
When I first had the idea for the post, I could only come up with 2 things. I slept on it and the next day when I went to my laptop, the thoughts came flooding out of my head and through my fingers. Thanks, Kim.
