The Cowboy Boots.

A Texas teacher was helping
one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy 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 glow.
She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they are on the wrong feet. "
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 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 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 onto his little feet again. 

Helping him with his coat, she asked,
"Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots so I wouldn’t lose ‘em."
She will be eligible for parole in three years.

Found some new Texas Jokes in a book on my shelf.
Joke Tellers Handbook by Robert Orben  published 1966
Humor has changed over the years. But thought you might find
these tall tales about Texas amusing anyway.

Most jokes are about rich Texans or extreme weather conditions.
I have been living in Texas for most of my adult life.
Extreme weather is nothing to joke about here.
However I don't remember ever meeting a rich Texas.



 " Did not believe there was a recession until last week,
when I saw this Texas buying a Volkswagen on time."

"I just heard of an Alaskan who wants to visit Texas
but he 's afraid to. Suffer from claustrophobia."

"I know one Texas who's so rich he doesn't even have his Cadillac
air-conditioned. Just keeps a half dozen cold ones in his freezer"

"It is such a thrill driving from Ft. Worth to Dallas.
Where else can you see money belts drying on the line?"

"A highly unreliable source informs us of the fella who dies,
goes to heaven and is strolling down the streets of gold
listening to angelic music, when suddenly he sees a column of men,
trudging along in chains. Shocked to the core, he runs to St. Peter
and asks:  Prisoners?  In Heaven.
And St. Peter nods his head and sadly and answers: "Texans.
They keep trying to get back!
