A couple weeks back I had a hilarious exchange with a boy who was about 10 or 11. The conversation went as such:
Boy: (sits book on desk) I wanted to let you know there are tears on a lot of these pages.
Me: Oh, did you want to check it out? I can fix them for you.
B: No, I just wanted to let you know, I find it so upsetting that children don't respect books.
M: Me too dear.
After about 15 minutes he comes back with another book, sits it down, and sighs loudly.
B: This one has a rather large tear in it, and I would like to check this one out. Would you mind repairing it for me?
M: Of course! Let me grab the book tape.
B: I just don't understand children these days. Why don't they respect books like you and I do? It's very upsetting.
M: (biting my tongue so I don't laugh) Yeah, well, it happens.
::::toddler screams in back of library::::
B: and to think that the library used to be a quiet place. (Shakes his head) guess not anymore.
I was about to die laughing. I was waiting for the camera crew to jump out and tell me I got
punked!!!
