I was thinking about how much my life has changed since having kids. Even conversations and phrases have taken on different meanings since becoming "mommy". For instance..
Wet T-Shirt Contest
Before children: Usually beautiful, scantily clad women being hosed down as people cheer
As a mommy: the wet spots your boobs make when you've skipped a feeding, or after a feeding when the baby spits up on you.
Power Struggle
Before Children: Sometimes made in business while attempting to take over the competitor
As a mommy: the fights while trying to get your toddler to sleep, eat, or use the big boy potty in a vain attempt to prevent accidents.
Accidents
Before children: it usually involves a motor vehicle
As a mommy: a puddle of pee on the floor or even better, poop in the bed of a potty training two and a half year old.
Foreplay
Before children:the prelude to lovemaking.
As a mommy: four family members playing Chutes and Ladders.
Pain
Before children: a paper cut
As a mommy: labor and delivery after the epidural wore off
Love
Before children: used to describe everything from your husband the cup of coffee you just had
As a mommy: the word used exclusively to describe everything about your children (and only your children)
