Cowboy Boots
(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. By the
time they got the second boot 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.
Once
again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet.
No sooner had they gotten 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 what 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?'
He said, 'I stuffed 'em in the toes of my
boots.'
She will be eligible for parole in three
years
