Before I became a mom, I never imagined I’d wonder things like, “Is it acceptable for my child to use my sock as toilet paper?” Or the time my toddler decided to sprinkle her great-grandparents’ ashes in her hair and I thought, “How much soap do I need to clean human remains out of hair?” Spoiler alert: a lot. But once you’re a mom, these questions become a part of your daily routine. Here are 25 more questions I never thought I’d be pondering:
- Is that chocolate or poop?
- Oh no, will anyone notice I’m wearing mismatched shoes?
- Can a baby really drain my life energy through breastfeeding?
- Ketchup counts as a vegetable, right?
- How is it possible that I have a degree yet can’t solve this second-grade math problem?
- Wrestling my child into her clothes definitely counts as cardio, doesn’t it?
- Did my mom hide in the bathroom too?
- How long can a kid survive on just toast?
- Is it possible for my ears to explode from the sheer number of words being thrown at me?
- Is she genuinely being sweet, or does she want something from me?
- How long until someone actually collapses from lack of sleep?
- I don’t need to reapply makeup if I didn’t wash off last night’s, right?
- What’s the exact octave of a scream that can shatter glass?
- Does my partner really sleep that soundly, or is he faking it?
- Wow! How long has it been since I even looked at my eyebrows?
- If I stay silent, will they forget I’m here?
- How much do I really care about enforcing this rule right now?
- Did I remember to put on a bra?
- Do I have enough patience left to let her help me mix these ingredients?
- Oh no, didn’t my mother used to say that same thing?
