You Know You’re a Butch Mama When:
You Know You’re a Butch Mama When:
1. The hair on your legs is longer than the hair on your head.
2. Your six year old son wears a button down shirt to school so he can look handsome, “just like you.”
3. Your diaper bag is an all purpose backpack, likely black, with many zippers and pockets.
4. You don’t need to search for tweezers when your child gets a splinter. You have your handy swiss army knife right in your back pocket.
5. Your daughter’s pony tail is a bit unique and you’ve practiced hard at it.
6. You shop for your daughter in the boys section because the clothes are “cuter”. (Note: she might not like this in the future).
7. You shop in the boys section for yourself because the clothes are “cuter”.
8. You can put together a pack and play in 30 seconds or less.
9. You’ve played beauty shop with your daughter for hours and let her paint your nails. To get off the polish you use turpentine instead of remover.
10. You are a competent diaper changer, bottle washer, car fixer, snowblower user, cook, book reading, happy mama.
This is hilarious.
I wanted to let you know that I gave your blog an Informer Award. You can check it out at my blog.

Funny post! Who came up with idea of shaving legs anyway?
Not me.
I’d parent like that.
Then again, I was shopped for in the boys’ aisle and insisted on continuing the practice when I was old enough because the colors were better, I wore turtlenecks, polos and rugby shirts in imitation of my mother, and I did my level best to carry on my mom’s tradition of 6-function “geekwatch” in 24-hour time and Swiss army knife, at least until I started going on airplanes too regularly to want to have to police my pockets. Guess it’s genetic.
I think we are moms cut from similar cloth. Love your blog!!
OMG . . . this is hilarious . . . thanks for the laughs
