You Might Teach In Texas If ...

You might teach in Texas if you notice this while giving your weekly Spelling test ...
 
... a cowgirl with her hat hanging down her back.  Everyone knows that a good cowgirl does not actually wear her hat ON her head.  Oh no ... we Texas girls take too much pride in our hair to have it mussed up by a hat!

You might teach in Texas if during calendar you noticed ...
 
... a cute pair of cowboy feet stuffed in a pair of boots.  And, just so you know, seeing said cowboy swagger across tile floor ... absolutely darlin'!

You might teach in Texas if you know that bandanas are ...
 
... a fashion accessory to be worn around the neck, not the head (remember the hat mussing the hair?)  You never know when you may need to take part in a great train robbery!

You might teach in Texas if you have kids come to school sporting ...
 
... belt buckles bigger than their heads!  The bigger the better.  Seriously!

You might teach in Texas if ...
 
... your line looks a little like this.  Oh for the love of the boots!

You might teach in Texas if you know how to slide ...
 
... with your boots on.  Again, for the love of the boots!

You might teach in Texas if seeing this ...
 
is not unusual to you.  Because if you live in Texas you know the importance of a good cowboy hat!

You might teach in Texas if you find a little cowpoke ...
 
 
... on the swing at recess.
You might teach in Texas if you have to find storage spots for ...
 
... cowboy hats.  Lots and lots of cowboy hats!

You might teach in Texas if your little cowgirls know how to wear ...
 
 
... some fringe.  Because after a good pair of boots, a fancy hat, a big buckle and big Texas hair, nothing says "I am Texan" like some fringe anywhere on your outfit!
You might teach in Texas if you look under a table and see ...
 
... a scuffed up pair of cowboy boots.  We Texans love our boots to death.  Literally.

And, if you do teach in Texas, I don't need to tell you why you are lucky.  And, if you don't teach in Texas, I am sorry.  So very very sorry.  Because you will never know the joy that comes from seeing your littles arrive at school on "Go Texan Day" wearing their love for Texas and swaggering like only a true Texan can.

Happy Go Texan Day!
