Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her primary students put on his boots. 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. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they got the boots off then he said, 'They're my brother's boots. My Mum made me wear them.' Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. 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 them in the toes of my boots.'
Her trial starts next month.

cholderton - 22years??? i've only been doing it for 16 years! I have this routine on a daily basis, along with hats and school bags. Whats worse is the parent who allows their child the independance to put their own shoes on without assistance at 5.45 on a friday afternoon! NOOOOOO, please, i'm begging just put the little sods shoes on and go home, i've got ponies to feed
