For all the Teachers

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE A TEACHER?


by Jeff Foxworthy

*You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.

* You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.

* You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms. Cathcart!" and know you have been spotted.

* You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or another.

* You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes.

* You’ve trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period.

* You start saving other people’s trash, because most likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.

* You believe the Teacher’s Lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.

* You want to slap the next person who says, “Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off”.

* You believe chocolate is a food group.

* You can tell if it’s a full moon without ever looking outside.

* You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, “Boy, the kids are sure mellow today.”

* You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.

* You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.

* You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.

* You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.

* You can’t pass the school supply aisle without getting at least 5 items!

* You ask your friends to use their words and explain if the choice he made was a “good choice” or “bad choice.”

* You have a secret relationship with alcohol.

* You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.

* You understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a certain way after meeting his/her parents.
