✔You know all the current Disney shows and have their theme songs memorized

✔ You've seen more carpet stains than you care to count

✔ You can suction and give mess through a GT in the dark, but prefer not to.

✔ You've read every book to come out in your preferred genre within the last decade or so and still run out of reading material... So you've moved on to crosswords ;)

✔ You knit.

✔ You've ever settled a sibling dispute over a decapitated Barbie doll.

✔ You know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em... The laundry, that is.

✔ You've seen and witnessed some of the most unusual, strange, head-scratching, and baffling behavior...all while wearing Mickey Mouse scrubs.

✔ You can calm a mom down in five seconds flat but can tell off an agency scheduler in two.

You are painfully aware that Barbie's and Ken's heads are interchangeable once said decapitation is accomplished- making for some VERY interesting story lines!

Haha. No, the last case I worked on it was more of a surprise. Haha. :p They would run out then I didn't know what to do so I used my patient's wipes. Haha! I left shortly after for other reasons.

Your patient's laundry and housekeeping is more up to date than your own. Ha ha - couldn't resist after reading all the threads regarding laundry.
