You Know You're a Momma If...



Pretty sure that all of you have heard of Jeff Foxworthy, right?




You know, he's the one who does all those "You might be a redneck" jokes.


For example...
"If your idea of a 7 course meal is a bucket of KFC and a six-pack, you might be a redneck"
or
"If your child's first words are "Attention K-Mart Shoppers!", you might be a redneck"


Actually, one of the first signs {other than the infamous McDonald's golden arches} that Booger Bear recognized when he was little was the Target bullseye...so I'm not quite sure what that makes me other than a Tarjay addict. Hmmmm...


Anywho, I thought today I'd do my own version of these kinda jokes. Not about rednecks, of course {not that I have anything against rednecks, I think they are lovely people} but about mommas. Cause let's face it, when we become a parent we all start doing crazy things that we swore we'd never do and when you think about it, they are pretty darn funny {and gross}.


So here I go...


*Disclaimer* I am NOT a comedian. If these are not funny, a sympathy laugh would be much appreciated.


You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...
you begin to talk in a voice that is several octaves higher than normal and everything you say rhymes..."let's go the store and get you a cookie wookie so you'll be happy wappy okay sweetie peetie?" 


You know you're a momma if...
you can't go #1 or #2 without somebody accompanying you into the bathroom, handing you toilet paper and wanting to have a conversation with you every time 


You know you're a momma if...
for lunch you had a leftover PB&J and goldfish

You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...

You know you're a momma if...
you've ever nearly had a heart attack because a little person is suddenly standing beside your bed in the middle of the night


You know you're a momma if...
you've ever reached into your wallet to hand the cashier a quarter and gave them a Chuck E Cheese token instead


You know you're a momma if...
your idea of dressing up for the day is putting on your "nice" sweatpants...you know, the ones without the barf stains on them


And last but not least...


You know you're a momma if...
no matter how insanely crazy your day was you would do it all over again in a heartbeat because you love your little kiddo more than your own sanity
