    If your children’s mattresses are placed on top of your food storage.

    If there’s a table cloth on top of your water storage and there’s a silk floral arrangement on top of that!

    If there’s no less than 3 car seats/booster seats in your Suburban.

    And no less than 3 C. worth or Cheerios and Fruit Loops in those seat cushions.

    You are always on the look out for “quiet” Sacrement Meeting books or toys to “keep it fresh”.

    If your kids know exactly what the “Warning Look” is in Sacrement Meeting.

    If you have a party when your youngest is 18 mo. old and can go to the Nursery!

    You stay and coddle your first and second nursery-goers…but by the time #4 is in the nursey, you shove them through the door and run!

    You dont know which is worse: Your nursery-goer who screams and clings to your leg…or your nursery-goer who says “eh, you can go now…what’s your name again?”

    You think your children are the ONLY rotton ones during Sacrement. :twisted:

    You collect cute little goodies for your Visiting Teaching ladies each month.

    You find this thread and it makes your day!!!!!!
