ILL-FITTING BOOTS
Don't you just love these kind of days???? :-)
There was a teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students
put his
boots on. He asked for help and she could see why.
With her pulling and him
pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on.
When the second boot was finally on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost
whimpered 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.
He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."
The
teacher didn't know if she should laugh or cry.
She mustered up the grace to
wrestle the boots on his feet again.
She said, "Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of
my boots."
