The Cowboy Boots

(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this)

Did you hear about the Michigan 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 fac e
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.

When will the boys therapy end????
