I should have known when

When we were still dating and my future husband saw the price tag on a new dress I was showing him and he remarked, “I could have bought new tires for that.”

When my mother-in- law carefully explained to me how my husband liked his sandwiches cut, “Tomato sandwiches are cut in half, peanut butter sandwiched have to be cut in diagonal quarters, and ham sandwiches must be cut diagonally.

When I accepted a ½ time job as a resource teacher in a school big enough to have 1 and ½ resource teachers.

When the doctor said, “OK, you are going to feel a little pressure.”

When I bought a house built in the 90’s that had 70’s windows in it.

When I asked if the other teachers were using the style of teaching I was being encouraged to use and I was told, “Every teacher has their own style and preferences.”

When the sign post said, “10 km hike with vertical challenges.”

When the dog trainer said, “This breed of dog takes extra persistence to train.”
