for all my teacher friends
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TEACHER?
by Jeff Foxworthy
1. You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.
**Or just the person whispering
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.
**Always awkward for everyone involved.
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 prep 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 the teachers' lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.
**That would be nice
9. You want to slap the next person who says 'Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off.'
**YEAH!!!!!!!!!
10. You believe chocolate is a food group.
11. You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
12. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says 'Boy, the kids sure are mellow today.'
13. You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
**Especially at Disneyland
14. You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
15. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
**I think I need to just bring my coffee maker to school
16. You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
**I don't have children, but yeah
17. You can't pass the school supply aisle without getting at least five items!
**I have to not let myself go to the teacher store
18. You ask your friends if the left hand turn he just made was a 'good choice or a bad choice.'
19. You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.
20. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer and finally,
21. You understand instantaneously why a child behaves a certain way after meeting his or her parents.
Please add your own!-->
22. You find yourself randomly correcting your friends for leaning back in their chair, blowing bubbles with their gum, etc. (Autumn Rivera)
23. You unconsciously used an attention-getting signal on a group of friends. (Walter De Gunya)
**This was Diana at Rock Bottom getting our attention for paying the bill "Ladies!"
24. After you've explained something to a peer, you accidentally say, "Are there any questions before we move on?" and wait seven seconds. (Whitney Turk)
25. You find yourself cringing and then correcting your friends' bad grammar. (i.e. where are you at?) (Nicole Gillian)
:) Leave comments if you have more
Here are some of mine:
26. Your writing hand seems to always be blue or black from overhead marker.
Others I found on the internet:
*you feel a debate of the merits of white board vs. chalk board should be part of the presidential election
*half your wardrobe consists of your school's colors. (orange anyone? or senior class colors?)
*you know it is better to seek forgiveness than to ask permission. (this is why i still wear flip flops on casual days)
*you will eat anything that is put in the teacher’s lounge (free food!!)
*you’ve ever had your profession slammed by someone who would never DREAM of doing your job. (EXACTLY)
*stacking piles of papers on the floor seems like a logical filing system to you. (i stack everywhere)
