You know you're a teacher when...

This made me laugh out loud. For all those teachers out there, or for anyone who knows a teacher...

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE A TEACHER?
by Jeff Foxworthy (found via Pinterest)
You get a secret thrill out of laminating things
You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line
You walk into a store and hear the words, "It's Mr./Ms. _________!" and know you have been spotted.
You have 25 people who accidentally call you Mom at one time or another
You can eat a multi-course meal in under 25 minutes
You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day, lunch and planning period
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 to 3 and have summers off."
You believe chocolate is a food group.
You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, "Boy, the kids are sure mellow today."
You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
You can't pass the school supply aisle without getting at least 5 items
You ask your friend to "use his words" to explain if the left hand turn he made was a "good choice" or a "bad choice."
You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils.
You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer.
You, understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a certain way after meeting his/her parents.
