4. The Bunny and the Tree
This is a fun method that utilizes a kid friendly story and movements that help kids understand and remember the basic steps to shoe tying.
•Tell the child to create "tree roots" by making a starter knot.
•Make a tree with a long thin loop; hold the loop in the child's right hand.
•With his left hand, take hold of the lace and tell him that a bunny runs around the tree and jumps into the hole under the tree and comes out the other side (he'll need to switch hands at this point which can be difficult for some kids).

Oldie, but goodie.....
Four college alumni were climbing a mountain one day: an Ohio State grad, a Michigan grad, a Penn State grad, and a Notre Dame grad. Each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans at their alma mater.
As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Notre Dame grad hurled himself off the mountain, shouting “This is for the Fighting Irish!” as he fell to his doom.
Not wanting to be out done, the Penn State grad threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, “This is for the Nittany Lions!”
Seeing this the OSU grad walked over and shouted “This is for the Buckeyes!” and pushed the Wolverine off the side of the mountain.

One day in an elementary school in Ann Arbor Michigan, a teacher asks her class if the Michigan Wolverines are their favorite football team. The whole class says yes except for Little Jimmy.
The teacher asks, "What's your favorite football team Jimmy?"
Little Jimmy says, "The Ohio State Buckeyes."
The teacher asks, "Well, why is that?"
Little Jimmy says, "Well, my dad is a Buckeye fan, my mom is a Buckeye fan, I guess that makes me a Buckeye fan."
The teacher angered by his reply says, "If your dad was a moron and your mom was an idiot what would that make you?"
Little Jimmy says, "Well, I guess that would make me a Michigan fan."

It was reported that Michigan head football coach Rich Rodriguez will only be dressing twenty players for the Ohio State game. The rest of the players will have to get dressed by themselves.

A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Michigan joke?"
The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something.
I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am a Michigan alumni.
The guy sitting next to me is 6 ' 2" tall, weighs 225, and he's a Michigan alumni.
The fella next to him is 6 ' 5" tall, weighs 250, and he's a Michigan alumni.
Now, you still wanna tell that joke?"
The first guy says, "NAH, not if I'm gonna have to explain it THREE times."
