I have to remove Barbie, Ken, a lion, a giraffe, an elephant and a great white shark from the bottom of the shower tray before I can have a shower.

I need a gas mask to go upstairs as the scent of Impulse Body Spray is a touch overwhelming.

I have a fridge full of yoghurts that were everyone’s favourite last week (to the point of arguments) that this week no-one really likes.

My pockets are full of 'precious' stones, there's a collection of sticks by my front door, and I know loads about Minecraft despite never having played it....*

Does my DS live at yours as well?!

I have an 8 seater people carrier which is mostly filled with tree branches and rocks.

I've nearly always got a piece of Lego embedded into my foot.

I am a self taught tech geek who can make phones turn off at night

I shout 'fire engine!' and 'tractor!' when I see them.

@Puffalicious I salute your dedication!

@alwaysstressed you could be either a parent or a teacher, based on your statement Grin

I never, ever get to eat the last roast potato.*

I just had this. I even barricaded it behind a wall of sweet potatoes and parsnips as I am the only person that likes those. But NO the last potato still managed to miss my plate.

I have banana in my hair

NameChangeCity123 · 06/02/2022 20:04

I am never wearing clothes that are both fully clean or fully dry anymore

I can't get to and from the car without carrying a rucksack, buggy wheels and a car seat daily but all I have for myself is a card holder and a face mask that fits in my pocket

I regularly do a sniff test on someone else's bum and often rope in my husband to do the same

I speak in a pitch only Mariah Carey could rival as I point out all the buses, dogs, trucks....
