The Winter Boots (Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this)
> Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her pupils put on his 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.
> Unfortunately, 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 correct 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 got the boots off when he said,
> 'They're my brother's boots. But my Mom made me wear 'em today.' > > 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 BACK onto 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'll be eligible for parole in three years.
