Here's what Holly had to say on her site:
I recently ran a Jeff Foxworthy-esque contest on eHarlequin.com in honor of my new trilogy. So here we go:
YOU MIGHT BE A PTA MOM IF...
10. ...when you appear in the teacher's workroom all the teachers rush over to see what you brought them to eat. ~Ellen Too
9. ...you know the location of every public washroom in town---field trips help that along. ~Kaelee
8. ...you've dressed up in a grass skirt, aloha shirt, and carried around a pink, plastic, blowup dolphin as volunteer reader for the annual Scholastic book fair . . . in a snowstorm.~Shelley Burbank
7. ... your kids' friends call you "Mom." ~Patti Mann
6. You might be a PTA mom if you can sing "Found a Peanut" in your sleep. ~Jody
5. ...you take every school fundraiser to work and then end up having to carry in 100 tubs of frozen cookie dough ~Tammy
4. ...you've popped so much popcorn to sell on Fridays that when you go to the grocery store later that day, you notice people around you sniffing the air and saying, "Do you smell popcorn?" ~JV
3. ...the students wave in the hall and say, "HI Laminating Lady!" rather than "Mrs. ____" ~Donna Alward
2. ...you're so busy with PTA stuff that your husband has to dress out of the dryer in the mornings. ~JV
AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT BE A PTA MOM IS....
1. ... if you've ever forged another mom's name on a volunteer sheet. ~Ellen Hartman
From Holly's site, I had to check out the nominations that she got on the eHarlequin site. If you want even more laughs, check out that list!!!
When I showed the list to Sean, he couldn't stop laughing at #3. Every child in our school knows me--by name.
Not kidding, ask anybody who I am and they'll tell you, "It's the Box Tops Lady!"
In fact, today at the celebration for the fundraiser (bouncers and dance party and prizes), the head gal forgot my name, but all the kids said, "That's the Box Top Lady. It's Nathan's mom---she's a teacher here."
Do you love it? The way I see it, any grownup who hangs out at school as much as I do must either be a child predator or a teacher.
Maybe they think I'm a teacher because I bust them just like their own teacher would. I have no problems enforcing the rules at school.
