"Politically Correct"

Cattle Management Specialist and Native

"Boots"
My 2-year-old son asked our baby sitter for
help in getting his boots on.
He asked for help and she could see why.
With her pulling and him pushing, the boots

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 right 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?"

to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off.
He then said, "They're my cousin's boots. My
Mom made me wear them."
She didn't know if she should laugh or cry.
