*Boot Lesson*
A teacher was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots
on.
He asked for help and she could see why. With her pulling and him
pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on.
When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost
whimpered 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 then 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.
He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."
She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace
to wrestle the boots on his feet again.
She said, "Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I tuffed them in the toes of my boots..."
