TIS THE SEASON

THE TEMPERATURE HAS DROPPED, SNOW UNFAILINGLY THREATENS,

AND GOOD MOMS AND DADS EVERYWHERE HAVE OUTFITTED THEIR KIDS WITH GOOD, WARM, WINTER-READY BOOTS.

I GET THE BIGGEST KICK OUT OF THE BOOTS I SEE HERE AT SCHOOL. 

THANK THE HEAVENS THAT MY STUDENTS NO LONGER HAVE TO DANCE WITH SHOES ON. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WENT TWO STRAIGHT YEARS WITHOUT ANY CHILDREN SUSTAINING ANKLE INJURIES.

CHILDREN'S BOOTS COME IN TWO VARIETIES. FOR THE SAKE OF EASE, WE WILL CALL THEM TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWO.

TYPE ONE VARITIES ARE ALWAYS POPULAR AMONG THE GIRLS. ALTHOUGH STYLISH- THE TROUBLE WITH THESE KIND OF BOOTS IS THE WELL KNOWN FACT THAT THEY ARE TO BE WORN ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR PANTS.

FOR OLDER WOMEN WITH A VARIETY OF JEAN TYPES TO CHOOSE FROM- THIS POSES NO THREAT. BUT TO LITTLE GIRLS THAT FOR THE MOST PART ONLY OWN BOOT-CUT JEANS- THE ONLY DIRECTION THAT THEIR JEAN CAN NOW TRAVEL IS UP. I LOVE THESE YOUNG GIRLS FEELING SO GLAMOROUS WITH THEIR SEMI-HEELED BOOTS BELOW, AND THEIR TREMENDOUSLY WRINKLED AND BUNCHED UP JEANS ABOVE.

THE TYPE TWO VARIETY IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE- BUT UNFORTUNATELY- I HAVE NO PICTURES TO ENFORCE MY POINT.

TYPE TWO GENERALLY ARE BOOTS PURCHASED AT A LARGE GROCERY/CLOTHING CHAIN STORE. POPULAR TYPE TWO PROVIDERS WOULD BE WAL-MART, TARGET, AND I'M GUESSING COSTCO AS WELL. THESE BOOTS ARE GREAT FOR MANY REASONS, FIRST AND FOREMOST BEING THE SHEER SIZE OF THEM. 

THESE DEFINITELY CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AS A WINTER BOOT WITH THE ULTRA THICK RUBBER SOLE AND BRIGHTLY COLORED POLYESTER OUTSIDE FABRIC. THE CLOSING APPARATUS IS GENERAL A HEAVY-DUTY, INDUSTRIAL SIZED, PLASTIC ZIPPER.

THESE BOOTS ARE EASILY RECOGNIZED BY THEIR SOUND. THE CLUMP, CLUMP, CLUMP OF TYPE TWO CLAD FEET IS UNMISTAKABLE.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR WINTERS IN UTAH WITH MY KIDS AND THEIR BOOTED UP FEET.
