Evidence of Parenthood

In case you couldn't tell already, here are ten telltale signs that you may have committed parenthood:

1.)  Your mailbox is suddenly fuller than it used to be.

2.)  You find yourself walking with more caution (and reflection).

3.)  Your life is suddenly reorganized in new and creative ways.  

3.)  You feel the paradox of being both unwrapped and all wrapped up.

4.)  There's always a line waiting for your attention.

5.)  You seem to be carrying more weight.

6.)  You learn to think inside the box.  

7.)  You find that standing alone is precarious.  

8.)  Find yourself looking for more signs. 

9.)  You find that silence is sometimes not a good thing....

and other times, it is a very good thing.

10.) Finally, you find your sole is overflowing in ways you never anticipated. 

 

 If you find evidence that you may have committed parenthood, don't panic.

Don't try to hide the evidence or get yourself out of it.

It is only temporary, and will pass.  Much sooner than you anticipate.
