You know you've been playing VV too long, if....

you're afraid to go to sleep or pause your game, because you just learned the collectibles still come on-screen and disappear, even on pause!!!

You keep clicking on the villager that was born the year they came, because she's close to death. You HAVE to make a baby the same year she dies, so you can more easily keep track of how many years the village has been there.

You tell your daughter she needs to do her homework, "to get more Tech Points". (Got a strange look for THAT one!)

You daughter tells you, "It's okay, Mommy, we don't have to go grocery shopping. I can go forage for mushrooms, while you find a berry bush."

You're so involved in you game, because that villager just NEEDS to become a Master Before 18, that your child gets herself up and ready for school, before you even go to bed.

You pick up a child and expect it to hum or say, "WHEEE!!!"

You see someone sitting taking a break and find yourself telling them, "Get back to work. I didn't tell you to sit."
