You are a walking dictionary of songs, rhymes and stories.

Dressing up consists on wearing a duck costum and putting stickers on your face.

You get cranky if you don't have a nap.

A hug can brighten your day.

words like, cool, neat, wow, once again become part of your vocabulary.

You have motions and songs for everything, (singing) may I go to the bathroom?

Drawings from your students are on your walls at home

Oh now I really miss teaching kids!

When I lived in Japan my walls were covered with artwork, handicrafts, beads, hankies and all sorts of things the kids gave me.

You know you teach kids when:
You have a clap system for everything.

Actually, I still can't help but do this. So far, none of my adult students have taken offense. They think it's funny. Oh, and I actutally used stickers once with my adult students. Very Happy
