You might be a school employee if...

Okay, so I got this in my email today and it made me laugh outloud...especially the velcro one. I literally had tears rolling down my face and every time I think of it, I break out in a violent laugh.

Jeff Foxworthy...

I am a school employee!! I would never name a child Thomas or Michael. I love the gene pool one. And I have met several parents this year and said the words "that explains a lot."
