The Cowboy Boots

THE COWBOY BOOTS
(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one)

Did you hear about the Wyoming 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. By the time they got the
second boot 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.
Once again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his
little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when 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.'

She will be eligible for parole in three years!
