You know you're an Au Pair when...
You know you're an Au Pair when...
...you always introduce yourself with : 'Hi! my name is (your name), I'm from (country) and I have (amount of children you are taking care of) children!!'
...the worst thing is, when the dad is working from home
...you know what a S'MORE is
...you spent all your money at the MALL and you still have nothing to wear
...you hate Dora, The Wiggles and Thomas
...you say silly instead of stupid
...you go to PLAYDATES
...you've seen more movies in one month than in your whole life at home
...you drive ove 30 minutes to a friend and you think it's not far
...you only have other Au Pairs as your friends
...you say 'like' and 'totally' every three words
...someone has asked you stupid questions like:
- 'do you have cars in your country?' - 'You don't have Valentine's day?' - 'Where is your country?'
...you don't think it's wrong to have cake AND ice cream
...you park as close to the store as possible so you don't have to walk even one yard too far
...you cherish moments of silence more than ever before
...you notice yourself saying 'GOOD JOB' a hundred times a day
...you wonder why you slept the whole night long so uncomfortable and you notice the next morning, you slept on a barbie, a lollypop, sandtoys etc.
...you need to be creative to find new punishments because a time-out doesn't work anymore
...you're sure you don't want own kids within the next 100 years
...you know now exactly how difficult it was for your parents to have little kids and you feel like saying thanks for all you've done to your mum and dad every day
...you start to love disney movies again and can copy every passage of them
...you've learned what it means to be patient
...you know what a LCC is
...you know that you should never SHAKE A BABY !!!
...you take a nap, after you dropped of the kids at school(after being up for just 2h)
...the kids call you mum cause you spend too much time with them...
...you think $160 every weekend just for shopping and coffee are not that much
...one cup of coffee doesn`t make you awake anymore, it just makes you alive)
...you don't walk into the bank, you use the drive inn to get your money
...you use Purell instead of washing your hands
...instead of singing song from the radio your singing childrens songs
