...It seems like complete strangers "get" you more than people you've known for years.
...You wear your red and yellow bracelet with pride.
...Your children have a deeper understanding of what it means to love others unconditionally.
...Checking the resident mailboxes is the highlight of your kid's day.
...Your five year old has ever stood in the middle of a McDonalds telling customers how important it is to put change in the donation container.
...Your family is a whole lot bigger these days!
...You have ever wished for "Activity Hour" when you're at home and have run out of things to keep your kids busy until bedtime!
