My wife and I are both teachers. That means if you ask us a question, we are liable to talk for a long time and quiz you on it later. It also means that when we don't know something we take classes, read books, and compose lab reports with annotated bibliographies.

That search lead her to the classics What to Expect When You're Expecting, Baby Bargains, and Lamaze classes.

That search lead me to Paul Reiser and "Mr. Mom."

As a result, she's ready to have a child, and I'm ready to be smarmy.

It's also significant the kind of teachers we are. I teach College English, the university equivalent to drivers ed. No one wants to be there, and most of it you should already know. We spend our time debating current events and talking about style. "How do you feel about that essay, baseball player?" or "Let's talk about the prose of this story." It's intense.

My wife teaches Electrical Engineering.

Needless to say, that leads to some differences in approach.
