Texas Teacher

[pecola]

Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!

Did you hear about the Texas 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. Finally, when

the second boot was 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. And, once again she

struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner

they got the boots off and 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

the 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."

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt!
