#10 It's nice to have someone who thinks all your jokes are funny -
even when you aren't making one
#9 You no longer look like a weirdo when you talk to yourself in
the grocery store. Everybody thinks you are just mumbling to your
kids
#8 No more questions about your clothing choices. Everybody assumes
you are too tired or too busy to care about fashion
#7 Tax Deduction, Tax Deduction, Tax Deduction
#6 No more need to justify why you own three video game systems, a
gameboy, and an entire collection of Star Wars action figures.
#5 Once again you can dress up for Halloween for absolutely no
reason.
#4 The opportunity to secretly whisper your Christmas wish to Santa
Claus - just in case
#3 A standing ovation every time you return home from doing
anything -- even if you just ran to the gas station
#2 Getting the opportunity to experience life all over again from a
fresh beginning
#1 Little kisses from little lips that are wet, sticky and filled
with an unabashed love of YOU.

Report AbuseThis made me smile too. I'll add a few:
Watching my 2 daughters play and being reminded of playing with my sister when we were that age
Sleepy hugs and kisses from them when I leave for work in the morning
My 7 yr old telling me that she had "the best day ever" when she and I went out to dinner, then shoe shopping! :-)
