16 Things Every Teacher Says At Halloween

Halloween is near the top of kids' list of favorite holidays. For teachers, not so much. Just think about it for a minute: so ... much ... sugar. So if you see teachers with a wild-eyed, manic look this week, just give them a kind smile and cut them some slack. Or slip them a piece of dark chocolate. Everything gets better with dark chocolate.

1. "The Halloween party is the last 20 minutes of the day and then they are All Yours, Parents!"

2. "Nooooo, I’m not going to tell you where I live so you can trick-or-treat at my house!"

3. "Instead of a Halloween party, let’s do a read-a-thon instead! Who's in?"

4. "Is that a Halloween costume or a bathing suit?!"

5. "I have an awesome idea! How about we use raisins instead of chocolate chips for Tic-Tac-Boo?"

6. "The next kid who asks when the party starts is going to lose a whole lot of candy."

7. "No, you are NOT allowed to dress as me for the party."

8. "You can’t scare me. I teach teenagers!"

12. "I'm dressed up as a teacher today. Do you like my costume?"

13. "Sooooooo ... Do you have any dark chocolate in there?"
