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 & him pushing, the little boots still didn't want
to
go on. Finally, when the 2nd 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 feet.
As soon as they had removed the boots 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."
Her trial starts next month.
