Author’s note: Stepping into teaching again, even though I only have one student right now, brings back many memories of the three years I taught at our church’s school. This is the result of some of the memories.
You know you’re a teacher when….
-
You keep a squishy ball in your desk to squeeze after 3:30
-
Friday evenings you catch yourself singing the hallelujah chorus and doing wheelies in the lane (after everybody else is gone)
-
You start finding those 3rd grade jokes funny (why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 eight 9!)
-
At events with friends you suddenly find yourself telling everybody what to do, and suddenly realize that it isn’t your job after all
-
Someone uses incorrect grammar and you find yourself correcting them
-
You find yourself patting the toilet and saying, “Good job!” when it flushes properly.
-
Sundays are delightful days of listening to someone else preaching instead of doing it yourself
-
The bathroom is the only place where you can find a moment of peace and quiet (She’s in the bathroom again?!)
-
You keep chocolate chips in your desk as an after school snack
-
You find yourself in precarious places that teacher training never prepared you for, like up in the lofty heights of a prickly evergreen tree, trying to catch the kitten that belongs to your fifth grade student
- You embarrass yourself (and everybody else) when you bawl your eyes out at the graduation ceremony of your former students
-
You find the saying below hilariously funny
Wheelies in the lane…video please! 🙂

Woops, that should have been donuts in the lane instead of wheelies. And sorry, no videos! 🙂

This is hilarious! I can identify with 5, 6 and 7 quite a bit, right now. 🙂
