Time for a little comedy. Give us your best line. Here are some of mine.

You know you’re a foster/adoptive parent when……..

1) You keep your favorite food under lock and key.

2) You take parenting books along on vacation as your “recreational” reading.

3) You find a urine stain on the carpet, and DON’T suspect the dog.

4) You have alarms on your house to warn if people are getting OUT.

5) Bodily fluids no longer gross you out.

6) You know everyone in the social services office, their home and cell phone numbers, and everyone’s birthdays.

7) Your phone speed dial numbers contain numbers for therapists, counselors, school, and social services, rather than friends or family.

8) You spend more time documenting things about your kids than playing with them.

9) Every teacher at school knows you, even if you’ve never had a child in their grade.

10) You know what the acronyms TPR, ODD, RAD, PDD NOS, SID and PTSD mean.

11) Your medicine cabinet looks like you robbed a pharmacy.

12) You think any family with fewer than 12 children is a small one.

13) You frantically search online to find out if sanity is on sale anywhere.

14) You know every doctor in the area that takes Medical Assistance.

15) You walk into church with a new child and your pastor asks “keeping this one, or just test driving?”

16) The police know your house and all the children in it, along with their current level of law enforcement involvement.

17) You have to carry a list of your kids’ names and birth dates.

18) When someone asks how many kids you have, you have to think of what day it is, and then count them.

19) You don't bother locking the house, because the kids have already stolen anything of any value.

20) You are laughing at these because you can relate to these.

21) You’re figuring out which cyber friends you’re going to share these with, since you have no “real” friends anymore.

How about you? Do you have a good one? Give us a good chuckle today.
