    2. The first time you got your period, your moms had a candlelit dinner that included a poem reading about becoming a woman.

    3. The Annie Lennox 1995 Medusa album is lying on the floor of the car.

    4. Your moms argue over who's Bette and who's Tina from The L Word.

    5. You sing the harmonies to the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., while you decorate the Christmas tree.

    6. They interrupt each other with "But, honey."

    7. "So, what did you two do at Dinah Shore this year?" is the fastest way to end a conversation.

    8. All three of you cried over the P&G "Thank you, Mom" commercial.
