Are you even a parent if...

[Soubriquet]

You don’t say quack every time you hear “Sarah and Duck”

quack

Your turn

Peppaaaa pig oink

Quack

Have a child that now has to sing every time they have an idea

Thanks molly and Mack!!

You don’t accidentally shout “Look! A Fire Engine!” whenever one comes by although you don’t have a child with you.

I have on occasion announced "Green man!", my youngest is 21.

It all depends on the age of your kids.

My parenting experience involves being able to recognise all the fortnite dances and name all the types of block in minecraft.

Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles, is a little kingdom of elves and fairies. Everyone who lives there is very, very small...

Amirite?

Are you ready kids?
Aye aye captain!

I automatically walk to the flat exit/entrance of a pavement even if I don't have my toddler dd with me. Can't stop myself!

I once cut up my friends food in a restaurant, oblivious to the fact that she was watching me open mouthed. DD had just started eating proper food and I was so tired. 15 years later and I still haven’t lived it down.

Shouting out ‘nee-naw’ or ‘moo-cow’.

With or without kids. And even the kids give me the side-eye now...

Singing the crab song off Moana every time someone says 'Shiney!'

If you don't insert their name into various songs.

When they insist they need some pointless item: "! Make way, make way. DD it's time you knew, the village of is all you need!"

When they're squabbling over me: " DS! Deeeee-essssss, DS! I'm begging you, please don't take my mum!"

When I just want to be plain old awkward: "Baby DC-name do do do do do..."

My best mate is called Sarah and I always go Sarah and duck and do a big quack haha the kids laugh

Stick your arm out sideways when crossing roads and a car appears. Even if you are with 40 year olds at the time.

if you don't try to hold your child's hand when crossing the road. Even when child is 15 and rips the hand away from yours ( sob ) . Took me ages to stop trying though

My mum hurt her finger recently and referred to it as Toby Tall - she’d heard me sing the fingers song lots of times when my DC were small!

Totally with you Fatted. Apparently it's very irritating when DD was actually talking about pokemon.

Driving the other day - “Oh look a squirrel! Hello Mr Squirrel!”
I’d just dropped DS off and was alone in the car.

I can only say 'you're welcome' in song

If anyone says 'where's the XX'
You have to reply 'when you see it wave and cheer'

ewits I'm definitely doing that. I love moana and do already sing the shiny song at any opportunity ((my kids hate me!))

Oh and I also push my trolley back and forward when I'm queuing at the till. Obviously the shopping might wake up if I just stood still. Like a normal person.

We always point out cows and horses when we are out in the car.

'We' is DH and I. DC left home in 1998 and 2002 respectively .

My oldest DC is about to hit that age where DH and I will embarrass him simply by existing, we're starting to see signs of it now.

DH and I have already planned our revenge for the upcoming teenage years. At his 18th birthday party there will be a record-scratch-stop-the-music moment, DH and will walk in wearing head to toe mid-90s fashion, we'll then take over the dance floor for a Dirty Dancing staff quarters style bump and grind to Mr Boombastic.

That'll learn him.

I was talking on the phone to someone and announced the choo choo was coming and I was not with any children haha
