You Might Be a Teacher If . . .

Most of the students that you call “my kids” aren’t really your children and most of the kids that call you “Mom” aren’t really your children either.
You have only one pen in your purse and it’s red.
You expect to sit on the floor at sessions of your professional convention.
You’re 40 and still asking for stickers for Christmas.
You think “bag lady” and “kindergarten teacher” are synonymous.
You tell unruly kids in supermarkets to smarten up and get in line.
You’re wearing gym shoes with a dress.
You visit your child’s school and you’re the only adult who removes her shoes at the door.
You have an irresistible urge to rub off the black scuff marks on the floor when walking down institutional hallways.
You spend half your coffee breaks and lunch breaks doing the work that needs to be done before you can go back to work.
You do up 25 coats every time you head out the door at work.
You have a written plan for your day off.
You have a “to do” list for the months of July and August.
Half the souvenirs that you brought back from summer vacation have some future job application.
