1. You refer to your dependant as 'that crazy old bastard.'

2. You gave your dependant a strait jacket for Christmas last year.

3. You financed your last vacation by auctioning off your dependants' war service medals on eBay.

4. You fondly recall the days when psychiatric hospitals were known as Asylums for Lunatics and Idiots.

5. You persistently prepare hot Indian curries and spicy Mexican food, knowing full well that your dependant suffers with acute irritable bowel syndrome.

6. You own a cattle prod, and you're not afraid to use it.

7. You keep your hypervigilant dependant 'on their toes' by regularly jumping out of closets and surprising them.

8. As a 'practical joke', you substitute your dependant's sleeping tablets for amphetamines.

9. On really cold nights, you allow your dependant to sleep indoors.

10. You consider Nurse Ratchet, the misunderstood, but well-meaning heroine of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

So yesterday, at maybe 6am...my son woke up and crawled into my bed with me for a quick cuddle before we started our day. His dad works hours away and leaves very early in the morning, so, we have our own little routine. We were chatting away about our upcoming day at kindergerten and work (respectively...lol) when, out of NOWHERE my husband leaps into the scene and says GOODMORNING! I Screamed at the top of my lungs, lept about 3 feet in the air, while still lying down...and Cole burst into tears. We didn't know he was home, didn't hear him come upstairs, didn't hear him enter the bedroom....so much for hypervigilance huh? I'll tell you this though - the world had my full attention for the rest of that day.

lol
