Winter Boots

[GopherM]

Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her
pupils put on his 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.


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.

Unfortunately, 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 correct 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 when he said,

'They're my brother's boots. But my Mom made me wear 'em today.'


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 BACK onto 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'll be eligible for parole in three years.

So this joke is about how stupid teachers are that they cannot tell a left boot from a right boot, and do not know enough to check inside the boot for foreign objects before trying to stuff a child's foot into it?

I feel that it had some jocularity to it.

Maybe it's just about the frustration and confusion of over worked teachers coping with the never ending variables and situations of everyday classrooms with a bunch of crusty faced little nose pickers.
