Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!
Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her
kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help and
she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots
still didn't want to go on. Finally, when the second boot was on, she
had worked up a sweat. She almost cried when the little boy said,
"Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."
She looked and sure enough, they were.
It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on.
She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots
back on - this time on the right feet. He then announced, "These aren't my
boots."
She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why
didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. And, once again she struggled
to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little fee t. No sooner were
the boots off when he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made
me wear 'em."
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up
the grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet
again.
Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?"
His reply, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."
Her trial starts next month.
