Friday Fun: Top 10 Signs You’re a New Dad

This is a list that’s somewhat been a longtime coming. These are signs that the post-college adventurous life is fading, no matter how young the new dad is. I’m guilty of all of these.

10. You show off the storage room in your new apartment to all your twenty-something grad school friends.
9. You’re no longer bored out of your mind at videogame-less hardware and office supply stores, and are actually tempted to buy more things than you need.
8. You only look to cars for gas mileage, durability and affordability. Appearance or image never enters the equation.
7. You get your “squat” weight-lifting exercise by bending your knees to pick up a diaper while holding your child on your shoulder with the other hand.
6. You’ve had toys or bottles spill out of your brief case or coat pockets.
5. You like to take family trips wearing the old fad cargo pants because you can pack so many diapers, toys and sippy cups in the pockets.
4. You can’t stay awake through the 10 o’clock news or any late movie showing.
3. You use your Best Buy rewards gift certificate to buy an egg boiler.
2. Kids’ programming (on Netflix and rented DVD’s from the library) is far and away the dominant use of your XBox 360. 
1. You win a $50 debit card from an NFL sweepstakes and spend it on diapers at Walmart.


This is my list. Feel free to add your own!
