You know you were born to be a teacher when...

So this post was inspired by our field trip to Sky Top apple orchard every day. A parent looked at me and said "How do you do this every day?!" Well I realized that it isn't a normal job, but I can't imagine myself doing anything else. In no particular order, here they are!
You know you were born to be a teacher when...
-You can tie shoes, carry on two conversations, and still see what all of the other children are doing. All at the same time.
-You talk to your spouse/significant other like they are 5 (Oops! Sorry Honey!)
-You frequently tell yourself that nobody else has to make these comments at work...(please zip up your pants, do not flick your boogers, put down the banana phone, take your lunch box off of your head, open your eyes when you are walking, etc.)
-You LIVE for blue jeans day. Literally it gets me up on Friday's ya'll.
-Paper cuts do not even phase you, nor do burns from the hot glue gun.
-You can stop the behavior of other people's children in public with "the look". Oops!
-You can go all day without using the bathroom....and forget that you even have to go.
-You sing everything. Literally everything. (It sticks. I still remember songs from elementary school!)
-You can eat your lunch in 10 minutes flat, while opening milk cartons and cleaning up spills.
-You are ready for bed by 8pm on a Friday night. Yeah, all of my friend think I am lame but I just can't keep up!
-You really feel more like a nurse, dentist, mother, seamstress, hairdresser, etc. on any given day. Boy I can fix anything with a safety pin, band aid or a ponytail holder.
-You answer to any kid voice saying mom, teacher, grandma, hey you, excuse me...you get the idea.
-You keep a list of funny things that the children say. (The latest this week is that it is only appropriate to call 911 if a dinosaur is eating your leg off...) You do this just so your friends will be amused with your stories.
-Snot doesn't bother you. We aren't talking typical snot here. We are talking Nickelodeon green slime.
-You hear this ALL the time..."Boy, I just don't know how you do it."
-You kids think you live at school, and they freak when they see you in Target. They give you the look like "What are YOU doing here?!"
-And the number one way you know you were born to be a teacher....
You can ride all the way to Sky Top apple orchard in the very back seat of the bus, not get sick, help the children who are getting sick, and still be smiling by the time you get there.
