...if you've ever had to sheepishly notify grocery store staff that they have a cleanup in aisles five, seven, and ten during a single trip to the store.
...if you prefer the smell of baby hair to almost any other smell on earth.
...if, as a result of that last statement, you sometimes use Johnson's baby shampoo in your own hair. Just admit it. It's okay.
...if you buy Cheerios and Goldfish crackers by the metric ton.
...if you consider waking up at 7:30 AM to be sleeping in.
...if you own stock in any major diaper manufacturer. May as well get some of that money back, eh?
...if you consider having poop on your hands to be no big deal.

I thought this little exercise would be fun, and I was right. This list could go on and on, because kids are the gift that keeps on giving, just like that Wiggles song stuck in your head.
And speaking of going on and on (no really, I'm almost done), please feel free to add your own contributions to the list. I've barely scratched the surface here.
Have a great day!
Brilliant! And this goes for having teens as well. Nothing changes much as they get older. ;-)
