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