1. Disney Princesses. I know their titles, real names, back stories, living relatives (mostly dads), and what color dress they usually wear.
2. Exactly how ripe a banana should be to meet the toddler's requirements.
3. Judging whether a pair of little girl jeans is cut narrowly enough for my skinny-minny daughter.
4. Taking in pants that we received as hand-me-downs from our average-sized cousins.
5. Wrapping a rubber band the size of a pencil eraser around a tiny tuft of hair at least four times.
6. Disney World. After watching Travel Channel specials and visiting "insider" websites to plan our vacation, I probably know more than most travel agents about the Mouse House.
7. Childhood illnesses. OK, I'm really not an expert in this, but I have definitely earned my stripes with our oldest. And I have learned how to anticipate when she's going to throw up.
8. Reading food labels. I now know that "brown" bread doesn't mean 100% whole wheat and orange-colored "juice" may, in fact, contain no fruit juice at all.
9. Diplomacy. I have sooooo many examples of this--from dealing with an overbearing parent to having a conference with your preschooler's teacher--but I choose to be diplomatic and not name names.
10. Brittney Spears. Who isn't, right? Seriously...can we stop with the media coverage already?
