Put'n
on da boots
or
What do Boots have to do with Parole?
I almost split a gut laughing
so hard at this one.
Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love it!
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 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.
