Before you start rummaging through the backyard or peeking behind the refrigerator looking for a baby you may not even have, I’ve created a light-hearted quiz to help you figure out whether you’re a parent to an infant!
1. How does your shirt look today?
A) It’s clean, stylish, and freshly pressed; I just put it on this morning.
B) It’s a bit wrinkled and could use a wash, but it doesn’t smell too bad and is mostly stain-free, although there might be a few holes.
C) My shirt is covered in five or more stains, mostly around the shoulders, with only two of them being from food I actually consumed. I can’t recall when I last wore it, but I know I’ve slept in it for at least two nights.
Responses:
A: Not a parent! You seem polished and well-rested, and quite frankly, I envy you.
B: Still not a parent! Just sounds like you need to tidy up a bit.
C: Congrats! You’re officially a parent!
