The "Wellie Boots"

[The Owl]

(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!)

Did you hear
about the Pre-School teacher who was helping one of the children put on
his "Wellie boots"? He asked for help and she could see why.... Even
with her pulling and him pushing, the little "Wellies" still didn't
want to go on. By the time they got the second "Wellie" on, she had
worked up a sweat.

She almost cried when the little boy said, "Miss, they're on the wrong
feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier
pulling the "Wellies" off than it was putting them on. She managed to
keep her cool as together they worked to get the "Wellies" back on,
this time on the right feet. He then announced, "These aren't my
Wellies." 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 "Wellies" off his little
feet. No sooner had they gotten the "Wellies" off when he said,
"They're my brother's "Wellies", my Mum made me wear them. 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 "Wellies" on his feet again.
Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your gloves?" He
said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my Wellies". She will be eligible
for parole in three years!
