A belated Mother's Day wish for you moms out there! You Know You're a Mom When ... You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal. You have time to shave only one leg at a time. Your kid throws up and you catch it. Someone else's kid throws up at a party. You keep eating. You've mastered the art of placing large quantities of pancakes and eggs on a plate without anything touching. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in the lobby of Grand Central Station and you do it. You cling to the high moral ground on toy weapons; your child chews his toast into the shape of a gun. You hope ketchup is a vegetable, since it's the only one your child eats. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into cute shapes. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you. You donate to charities in the hope that your child won't get that disease. You use your own saliva to clean your child's face. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job" but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything.
