One for our Teachers

[hookman]

Did you hear about the Montana 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

That is really cute, my type of story. It must have been his brother that was told he had his shoes on the wrong feet to which he answered, "But these are the only feet I have."

Whew! For a moment there I thought you had a story about a Dillon, Montana, teacher! Glad to see it wasn't me.

That is one of the reasons I taught middle school. They can dress themselves.

Clutch,
You said "That is one of the reasons I taught middle school. They can dress themselves".

Have you seen how kids dress themselves these days??? (I guess I'm showing my age)

Just two words on that topic. Dress Code.

That's funny! Carolyn, we would have bailed you out (or broke you out if needed).
