Winter Boots
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, his 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 Mum 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.

Reminds me of an experience I had the first year I was out of school. I volunteered in a classroom for the year, a school for disabled kids, they were little, ages 2-5, most were 4, with varying disabilities, cerebral palsy, Downs Syndrome, one little girl was deaf. They were adorable kids and I just loved them...
But getting them ready to go home during the winter was a hassle, disabled kids with all those winter clothes. And there were these two little brothers, ages 3 and 4, and they had the most impossible boots! There were 5 of us, teacher, two teachers aides and two volunteers, and it was just so tough that we all concentrated on the rest of the kids who weren't that easy either, hoping one of the others would tackle those poor little guys" boots!
