There was a teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots?
The little boy needed help and the teacher could see why.
With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second boot was finally on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost whimpered 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, but the teacher managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet.
The little boy then announced, "These aren't my boots."
The teacher bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream,"Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to.
Once again they struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off.
The little boy then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."
The teacher 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.
She then asked, "Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."
