Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots?
The student 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 are on the wrong feet.”
She looked, and sure enough they were.
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.
No sooner had they got the boots off when he said “They’re my brother’s boots. My Mom made me wear them”.
Now she did not 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 get on his coat, she asked “ where are your mitts?” He said “I stuffed them in the toes of my boots”.
She will be eligible for parole in three years.
