Full Moon Alert!

If you think controlled chaos is a reality, 
and not just an oxymoron...
you must be a teacher.
 
If you can't enjoy the upcoming full moon forecast,
because you know EXACTLY what that means,
you must be a teacher.

If you can go to the restroom and back, including hand-washing,
at the speed of lightning...
you must be a teacher.

If you can attentively listen to many noises and voices at the same time
and think that's normal...
you must be a teacher.

If you receive a Valentine box of chocolates with a few bites missing,
and you eat the un-bitten ones anyway...
you must be a teacher.

If you tell people that being exposed to germs on a daily basis
can actually help your immune system...
you must be a teacher.

If you find it almost impossible not to correct 
a perfect stranger's unruly children...
you must be a teacher.

If you jump up and down, saying "Thank you, God"
upon hearing the news that it's a snow day...
you must be a teacher.

If you ask your husband to please use his inside voice
when he gets a little irritated...
you must be a teacher.

If you can't bear to throw away egg cartons, toilet paper rolls,
empty coffee cans and butter bowls...
you must be a teacher.

If you can cram down your lunch, check your mailbox, 
use the restroom, make a phone call or two - 
all in twenty-five minutes...
you must be a teacher.

If you know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
you must be a teacher.

If you know it's possible to learn to love
someone who you thought would be the death of you yet...
you must be a teacher.

If you've realized there are now hundreds of
names you'll never be able to name your own child...
you must be a teacher.

If your tweens felt robbed because they had to spend every 
summer break at home with their mom...
you must be a teacher. 

If your friends laugh because you still use the word "naughty" ...
you must be a teacher.  

And if you totally get all of the above, 
and you're still doing it anyway...
you MUST be a teacher!  
(Sigh...... smile.)
