How Do You Know....

I don't agree with all of these, but a few of them ring true and a lot of them are funny!
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.
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 can eat a multi-course meal in under twenty-five minutes.
5. You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day: lunch and prep period.
6. You start saving other people's trash, because mos t likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.
7. You believe the teachers' lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.
8. You want to slap the next person who says "Must be nice to work 7 to 3 and have summers off."
9. You believe choco late is a food group.
10. You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
11. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says "Boy, the kids sure are mellow today."
12. You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
13. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
14. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer and finally,
15. You understand instantaneously why a child behaves a certain way after meeting his or her parents.

Amen to the last one!!
How do you know you are a dedicated teacher?
You go on a mad ordering frenzy to get a loved student THAT one book they must have before they move....
What has a teacher done for you?
