“173rd story”

First published: Dec.24.2020

Shadi was a daycare teacher for four-year-old kids.

During recess, Shadi was trying to put a kid’s boots on, but as much as she tried, they didn’t fit the kid’s feet.

Shadi then picked up the kid, sat him on the desk, and tried again to fit the boots.

After tiresome trying, the boots were adequate. She put the boy down and,

sighted loudly and was happy that finally it was done.

The boy said: “The boots are on my wrong feet.”

Shadi picked up the boy again and put him on the desk. She pushed and pulled till finally, the boots came off. And carefully, with lots of struggle, put the boots back on his feet, on the correct foot.

The boy said: “These are not my boots.”

Shadi took a deep breath, shook her head, and whispered: “Oh, My God.”

She took the boots off the boy’s feet with grapple again and said: “Okay, love, which boots are yours?”

The boy said: “The ones you took off.”

Shadi was confused and laughed loudly.

“These are my brother’s boots. My mother said I could wear them today.” The boy said.

Shadi put the boots back on the boys’ feet again and said: “Where are your gloves?”

The boy said: “Inside my boots so I wouldn’t lose them. And that’s why the boots seemed smaller and it couldn’t be fitted.”

  1. That’s a fun story and a child would be that logical. I’m impressed the teacher did not say something to the little imp.

  20. Humorous tale! When in elementary school, I remember wearing someone else’s winter boots home. The other came knocking at my door. She found my boots because my mother had taped inside a label inside them.
