Dressing Children

[love to teach]

If you've ever dressed a child you 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 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 than
they got the boots off 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.
