Post your DCs names and we'll tell you what we assume about you. Snark is obviously expected!

Your husband is a slight and flinchy man. He weighs 125 lbs soaking wet. He works as an accountant and writes peevish emails to the neighborhood listserv. You're taller than him, and overweight. You think of yourself as confident and outgoing, but most people see you as brash and overbearing. You've got a nasty streak that you try to hide, but not very well. You love to gossip with your husband about work and other parents at your charter school, which is Inspired Teaching or Mundo Verde. Both you and your husband put a lot of energy into your careers, though neither of you realizes that you're not on the advancement track. This is especially sad because the energy you spend on work comes at Theo's expense. He's a sickly child with deep set eyes. He has asthma and a nearly constant runny nose. You think you're being liberal and teaching him responsibility by letting him choose his own clothes at 8 years old and making him responsible for washing them and his own showers. In reality this means he is usually dressed in mismatched, grubby clothes that smell vaguely of pee.

Downer!

I call em like I see em.

that you were too lazy to come up with real names, so you used the ones you gave to your pets in elementary school.

Funny, when I look back on my childhood pet names, I see a real lack of imagination. I mean, I had a dog named Toto and a fish named Goldie. I thought I was doing slightly better with the kids' names. Oh well.

It's all good. I like those names.

You are a nice Jewish family living in Chevy Chase. You are originally from Westchester County NY, so really wanted to find an environment that supported a good thriving Jewish community. You met your husband Bruce who was from Rockville, but you didn't think Rockville was good enough, so you moved to Chevy Chase. Although Bruce is Jewish by birth, his family is pretty non-religious (although they do celebrate Passover and Hanukkah). You are now part of a conservative synagogue, but you do most of the observance for the house. You and the children keep kosher, but Bruce does not (not all the time, at least) and you have to fight to keep him honest about which sink and dishes he uses. But he tries hard. And he's a good father, when he helps out. Simon is named after your late father who ran a delicatessen in White Plains for many years. Elliott is your little tasmanian devil and you're not sure if you can handle him upcoming bar mitzvah. Maya is your little princess. Your latest fight is about whether to send Simon to New York for Yeshiva high school.

Catholic. Pregnant with #4 currently. Its going to be William or Madeleine. Bethesda. You work in a non-profit and are very earnest. Wear coordinating sweater sets with pearls. You're a "visi" girl and hope your girls get in there, too. You're part of the congregation, but its hard to make DH (attorney) go; you're trying to convince him that going will lower your future tuition rates.

When silently roll your eyes whenever walk in the church door for Easter Mass and find your regular filled an overflowing with churchgoers you have never seen before - not to mention the fact that they are wearing jeans in the Lord's house! You would have gotten there earlier, as you usually do, but Katie had an explosive poop on the way out the door and Mary Ellen and Molly were squabbling about something or another once again. Typically though, you're a pretty organized person (erring on the side of uptight). You have two golden retrievers and a pet rabbit. Your husband takes the older girls camping in the summer - he's a great Dad, and while he says he's happy with his three girls and doesn't need another child, you have secret plans to push for #4 (a son?!) once Katie is in preschool. Family is very important to you, you volunteer regularly at your children's school, and the highlight of your year is the week you spend on Cape Cod with your extended family at the beach house you grew up going to.

Really? That's what you got from Theodore and Colette/Josephine? Seriously. Such a downer.

I am totally from NY, though not Westchester! DH is also from the NY area. I am Conservative and he isn't much of anything, and I do try to keep the home somewhat kosher-style, though not with separate sinks. He stopped sneaking in ham a long time ago. We have discussed Jewish Day School at length, but not fighting over it, probably just deciding against it for many reasons.

You're a young couple, hardworking, friendly and very pleasant. You are Irish by background but not obnoxiously so. You value family and community. You may not have a huge house, but you lavish love and care on your home and you chose it for the neighborhood, not for status. Everyone likes you.
