3 Kid Club Quiz

I was recently talking with a girlfriend of mine who happens to have three kids and she introduced me to another women who just (and I mean just, like three weeks old, just) added a third child to her party of four.  I congratulated her and welcomed her to the club.

"It feels like a club!" She said with enthusiasm.  "No one seems to get it unless they also have three children."

We even have our own handshake.

It's a pretty exclusive club, I might add.  Only crazy awesome moms get to be a part of it and it's filled with nothing but triple amounts of wet kisses and sticky fingers and yes, even poopy diapers.  I wouldn't trade it for the world!

But just like every super inclusive club you get some haters.  Okay, a lot of haters.  Some of them don't even realize they're hating!  (Which just proves how awe-inspiring this club really is)  Maybe they're not hating.  Maybe they just really don't realize what they are saying or maybe they don't realize that everyone and their mom has mentioned the same quick-witted remark when ever they see us coming.

But how do you know you are in the 3 kids club (if the third child didn't give it away).  Here is a quick and easy multiple choice test you can take to find out if you too have what it takes to be part of this all inclusive club.  Good Luck!

1.  Say you're at the playground and your child falls to the ground while chasing a kid that's way to big for him to play with.  What do you do?  a) Rush to his aid? b) Get the bandaids ready for his banged up knee?  c) Pull out the Neosporin?  If you've started to laugh.  You're probably in the 3 kid club

2. Say you're at the grocery store ('cause you know you don't go to the mall) and you do a quick head count and realize you've only gotten to two.  What do you do?  a) Panic?  b) Start a frantic search up the aisles c) cry.  If your answer was, Yell at the top of your lungs the name of the lost child followed by a threat of bodily harm unless they come back in a count of 3, then you are probably in the 3 kid club.

3.  Say you've just given birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy.  What are the reactions you get from friends and family?  Is it, a) How adorable! b) He looks just like his father/mother c) What a blessing!  If you answered, You have another one? then you are probably in the 3 kids club.

4.  Say you are standing in line at the public bathrooms and some one asks you, How do you do it?  Your response would most likely be, a) It's easy  b) It's not so hard when you get used to it  c) Jesus gives me the strength (Hint! While Jesus may actually give you strength, is this what you would most likely say?)

If your response was, I cry a lot and drink twice as much coffee then tears, then you are probably in the 3 kid club.

5.  Say you are unloading your kids from your mini van.  As you grab the hands of all three of your kids what does the nearest complete stranger say to you.  Is it,  a) What a wonderful family b) You are very lucky to have so many beautiful children c) What a blessing!  If you answered, Wow, You've got your hands full or You're not going to have any more, are you?  Then you are probably in the 3 kid club.  Plus, you get extra credit if you started laughing hysterically at option b)

You're done!

Now tally up your points! A is 1pt, B is 2 pts, C is 3 pts.  If you got a score of 0 then you're probably in the 3 kid club!!  WELCOME!

We only except crazies, that have grown tough skin and who are really good at smiling through clenched teeth.  But the benefits far out weigh any of the stupidity that tends to be thrown our way.  So sit back and enjoy, know that you aren't alone and if you haven't punched someone in the face today, it's a good day!
