I'm sure all professions have their personality quirks or behaviors that make being married to someone in that job difficult. Lawyer spouses must say, "I object!" or "I'm not out of order, you're out of order" sometimes. I'm sure firefighters are not much fun at bonfires or fireworks. It is time we teachers celebrate our general teacheryness (and let our spouses drink while we do it).
At my wife's suggestion (and because we've been quarantined together for two months now) I have created a drinking game - not for Teachers (unless you are a teacher, married to another teacher - in which case may God have mercy on your household and liver) - but for their significant others.
So let's get to it.
Take a Drink every time your Teacher Spouse:
- Uses their Teacher Voice in regular conversation
- Uses the words, "Well" or "Actually" when correcting you. Take three drinks if they use them together.
- Is super particular about the day's schedule or lack thereof.
- Assigns grades/levels to random stuff like chores, bird feeders or foot rubs.
- Criticizes teacher movies for their various inaccuracies.
- Asks anyone to 'wait their turn' or 'put their hand up' in normal, human conversation.
- Talks about 'this student in their class' or 'what happened in the staff meeting' like it is interesting or anyone actually gives a f*ck about that nonsense.
- Still has a dedicated snack time, nap time or recess. Everyone else is doing those things constantly now.
- They show you a 'funny' teacher meme on Facebook/Pinterest.
- Drink twice if the proceed to explain the meme when you don't laugh at it.
I'm sure there are more - please share your suggestions.
