Weekend Humor
Did you hear about the Philadelphia kindergarden teacher who 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 sweat. She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet.''
She looked and 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 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?'', 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 Mommy made me wear 'em.''
Now, she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But still, 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!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.

Good one Keith!
Is that "The Booga Wooga" in the photo?"
Too funny. Definitely have 'enjoyed' days like these with my little ones. They don't mean any harm. In the end, just something to make us all laugh.
