Did you hear about the Montana teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help & 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 & 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 & 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. No sooner they got the boots off & 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 & 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.........
