From the Spring issue of IAAP's Bits & Bytes newsletter (April,2002).
I got a real giggle out of this one.

9. Practices facilitating meetings with stuffed animals strategically placed on the bed.
8. Has developed a PowerPoint presentation entitled “10 Ways to Organize Your Toy Chest.”
7. Insists on arranging story books by title or author, files greeting cards by occasion, can spend hours circling misspelled words in game books.
6. Puts everything in its place in the playroom before going to bed to start the next day “fresh.”
5. Has a different color folder for every family vacation ever taken.
4. Knows everyone’s phone number by heart and runs to answer the phone with, “Slater’s residence,
may I help you” before the third ring.
