> 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 almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough,

> 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 gotten the boots off when 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 what 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."

> She will be eligible for parole in three years.
