Signs You're a Teacher!

I'm nervous to see who is going to comment on this one. :)

How Do You Know You Are a Teacher?

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

2. You get a secret thrill out of laminating something.

3. You walk into a store and hear the words 'It's Ms/Mr. _________' and know you have been spotted.

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

5. You can eat a multi-course meal in under twenty-five minutes.

6. You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day: lunch and conference period.

7. 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.

8. You believe chocolate is a food group.

9. You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.

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

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

12. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.

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

14.You can't pass the school supply aisle without getting at least five items!

15. You ask your friends if the left hand turn he just made was a 'good choice or a bad choice.

16. You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.

17. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.

That is GREAT!!! I love this... I can so identify being in the school system for so many years. I go to work everyday thinking... I have the best job in the world! The best feeling is being in a store and some little sweetie runs across the store and says "HI,Mrs.Siemers!" and gives you a HUGH hug with the parents just standing there with a smile on their faces. Your students will be so lucky to have you! You are a BEAUTIFUL person.
