Maybe it starts when you realize rock concerts give you a headache. Or that you're offering to cut up other people's food. Or you catch yourself ending a discussion with, "Because I'm the mother, that's why."
You've reached a new level of motherhood. All the warning signs are there. You know you've crossed the threshold into advanced mommydom when:
* You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure
they're equal.
* You have time to shave only one leg.
* You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
* Your child throws up and you catch it.
* Someone else's kid throws up at a party and you keep eating.
* Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out
loud in the lobby of Grand Central Station, and you do it.
* You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into
unusual little shapes.
