You Know You're the Parent of a Toddler When...(Wiggles Version)

(Note: We do not let Jack watch that much TV, and I make sure he has exposure to as many different styles of music as possible. But, oh my god, the boy is obsessed with the Wiggles. He requests the songs by a word or two that he knows in them. He will say "Dnce?" followed by such things as "Nummy Nummy," "Hopopapa" (with hand motions), "Mop Mop," etc.)

You know you are the parent of a toddler when...
  • Not only do you know the Wiggles by color, but by name and color.
  • You can name all the supporting characters.
  • You find yourself humming "Hot Potato" or "Big Red Car" to yourself at random times.
  • You are aware of the big story that Yellow Wiggle Greg was replaced with Sam.
  • You know some of the dance routines to the songs.
  • All you have to do is the beginning of the dance to "Fruit Salad," and not even sing it, and get the song stuck in your spouse's head. (Use sparingly as a revenge tactic.)
  • Australian lingo that you have heard from listening to the Wiggles slips into your everyday conversations.
  • Every time someone says "fruit salad," you reply "Yummy Yummy" in a deep voice.
  • You chuckle every time you have to listen to "Where is Thumbkin" because Yellow Wiggle states that sometimes his "Ringo needs help staying up."
  • You are afraid you know what type of store it was where Captain Feathersword bought that kinky sword of his.
  • You (dads) decide that one of the Wiggle dancers is kind of cute.
  • You (moms) are annoyed because you are distracted by Yellow Wiggle's (Greg's) Man Boobs.
Feel free to add some more in the comments!

The man boobs are not the problem. It is the very tight turtleneck that he wears!
