You might be a teacher..

My Auntie M sent this to me. We come from a Long line of teachers. A few years ago at our (Long) family reunion, 20 of the 60 present were either retired, current or studying to be teachers. I could relate to a few of these.

Only current and former school employees can appreciate this.
