4) You’ve fed a goat recently.

5) You’ve used the words "pluggy," "bippy" or "binky" in casual conversation.

11) You’ve ever found yourself wondering how Clifford the Big Red Dog has managed to get through life without accidentally crushing someone.

12) You’ve traced your hand and made a turkey out of it.

13) You know which one is Po, which is La-La, etc.

15) You can name all of Arthur’s friends, including Fern and Prunella.

16) You once thought of the Walt Disney company as the purveyors of wholesome family fun, but now you think of them as money-grubbing entertainment whores.

17) You’ve used the verb phrase, "go potty."

18) You know what would happen if all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops.

19) You’ve peeled the skin off a hot dog.

22) There is a little toilet seat in your house with pictures of a blue dog on it.

25) You’ve purchased "Cinderelmo." On DVD.

26) There’s a bowl of Kraft Easy Mac cooling in your freezer.

27) The phrase "We’re out of wipes" causes beads of cold sweat to appear on your forehead.

30) When you entertain, you tend to serve Hoodsies.

33) There are little dinosaurs in your bathtub.
