- …someone says the word DUTY and you giggle like a third grader
- …you know more about the books your kids read than they do
- …you shamelessly wear dragon jewels!
- …you have more in common with kids than their parents
- …you get a paper cut and bleed coffee/tea
- …you day dream A LOT
- …you have creative ways of procrastinating like sock skating
- …your co-worker is a cat or dog or rabbit or bird
- …every time one of your adult friends talks about an issue they’re having with their kids, you immediately recommend a middle-grade novel that deals with the same situation
- …you’re more excited about the BFG movie than your kids are
- ….you struggle to remember the last adult book you read
- ….you still secretly keep an eye out for the wardrobe that will get you to Narnia
- ….you analyze the story structure of every movie and TV show you watch (much to your spouse’s chagrin)
- …when you can’t focus on doing taxes and filing your child’s college aid forms because you want to finish your Rick Riordan novel
- …people in the airport give you weird looks because you’re reading a chapter book
- …you’re the one with the spaced-out look in the supermarket because your head’s still in the 1800s or on planet Zippon
