Ten Signs That You've Been Working at a Kindergarten Too Long

  1. You hear "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" and think "Head, thorax, abdomen."
  2. You don't think it's weird to stand at the sink trying to blow bubbles with your hand.
  3. You see your dog going in circles, pick her up and start twirling, saying, "Let's go in circles together."
  4. You don't think that "Put a marshmallow in it" is a weird way to tell a child to be quiet.
  5. You understand that anything can become a toy gun. And that really bothers you.
  6. You understand mob psychology because the kids gang up on you at recess.
  7. You are used to showing up for college with glue and glitter all over your hands.
  8. You know how devastating it is to have three minutes taken away from recess or gym time.
  9. You realize that the word "What" should be spelled "w-u-t," and that it's just as easy to write backwards when you're just learning.
  10. You have no scruples about rewarding the children for good work with one Smartie. They love it.
UPDATE:

11. You can hug a child and then next minute yell at another who's misbehaving.
12. You appreciate a crayon-colored paper bunny that resembles a dump truck with eyes and big ears as a truly thoughtful gift.
