I have a degree in mathematics. I should be smart enough to know...

I have five children. I should be experienced enough to know...

I've been a foster parent. I should have the street smarts to know...

I'm a teacher. I should be trained enough to know...

that you don't keep giving the scissors back to the three year old who promises every time that she will only use them on paper. I should know better!
