As I was sorting through a pile of papers in our basement before we moved, I came across this funny article I had torn out of a magazine a few years before. Hope it adds a little humor to your day.
20 ways Parenthood Is Just Like College
1. You feel like you're constantly being tested
2. Someone's always smarter than you (or at least they think they are)
3. Your roommates are slobs and they steal your food
4. There's nothing in your bank account
5. All-nighters
6. You get kicked out of the library for leaving behind crumbs and creating a ruckus
7. Keg parties and parties at Chuck E. Cheese produce the same kind of hang-over
8. You never seem to be able to get the place to yourself
9. Naps
10. You hate your roomate's music and they hate yours
11. You can neither identify nor locate the source of that funky smell coming from your rommate's closet
12. Five in the morning is really really early-or really, really late- depending on whether or not you've been to bed yet.
13. People talk to you while you're in the shower
14. You're too exhausted to retain what you're reading
15. Oh, now you can identify that smell. You forgot to take that half-eaten sandwich out of the packback yesterday
16. You're wearing your college sweatshirt again-its the cleanest thing you could find
17. Someone always leaves a party crying
18. Hey! How about pizza? Again
19. You think you're the only one who feels clueless
20. It goes so fast.
