Teacher and Boots
Did you hear about the Calgary 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.
Finally, when the second 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.
No sooner they got the boots off and 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 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.
