Cowboy Boots 
 
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 & she could see why. 
 
Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go 
on. Finally, when the 2nd 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." 
 
Her trial starts next month . .
