I found this on English zone. I scored 1 (maybe 2)

Are You A TRUE Elementary School Teacher? Let's Find Out:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Do you ask guests if they have remembered their scarves and mittens as they leave your home?
2. Do you move your dinner partner's glass away from the edge of the table?
3. Do you ask if anyone needs to go to the bathroom as you enter a theater with a group of friends?
4. Do you hand a tissue to anyone who sneezes?
5. Do you refer to happy hour as 'snack time'?
6. Do you declare 'no cuts' when a shopper squeezes ahead of you in a checkout line?
7. Do you say 'I like the way you did that' to the mechanic who repairs your car well?
8. Do you ask 'Are you sure you did your best?' to the mechanic who fails to repair your car to your satisfaction?
9. Do you sing the 'Alphabet Song' to yourself as you look up a number in the phone book?
10. Do you say everything twice? I mean, do you repeat everything?
11. Do you fold your spouse's fingers over the coins as you hand him/her the money at a tollbooth?
12. Do you ask a quiet person at a party if he has something to share with the group?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* If you answered yes to 4 or more, it's in your soul--you are hooked on teaching. And if you're not a teacher, you missed your calling.
* If you answered yes to 8 or more, well, maybe it's *too much* in your soul--you should probably begin thinking about retirement.
* If you answered yes to all 12, forget it--you'll *always* be a teacher, retired or not!

Thanks, that made me laugh. I got way more than you and I teach university students. I think most parents, certainly most moms, would score 'high' on this one.
My youngest is 22 but I still tend to sway back and forth when I hear a baby cry. When it's time to be a grandma I'll be ready. |
