You Know You're a Teacher When...

You know you're a teacher when:

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

You have 25 people that accidentally call you mom/dad at one time or another.

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

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

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

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 want to slap the next person who says "Must be nice to work 7:15 to 3:15 and have summers off".

You can tell if it's a full moon, [or a storm's coming] without ever looking outside.

You know that unspeakable evils will befall you
if anyone says "Boy, the kids sure are mellow today."

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

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

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

You understand instantaneously why a child behaves
a certain way after meeting his or her parents."

A person can probably never know how true this is until they are actually a teacher... but wow. So true. :)
