A conversation regarding the crazy schedule over the last few days...
Kid: What time you closing [insert name of friendly neighborhood teen librarian]?
Me: 8:00
Kid: Now that's the [FNTL] I know!!!
pre-teen girl 1: I need a free print card. I need to make some boy invitations.
pre-teen girl 2: Your granny let's you have boys over?
pre-teen girl 1: Yes. But my dad doesn't.
pre-teen girl 2: Of course not! You know how dads are.
pre-teen girl 1: Yeah. I know. Miss, you know how dads are right?
Me: Yeah. I know how dads are.
Both girls giggling.
Kid: Miss, why is the internet not working?
Me: I don't know.
Kid: Did y'all not pay y'all's rent?
(kids snickering)
Oh wait, yeah, this is a library and not just the free internet place...
Kid: Can you do a reference check for me?
Me: Huh?
Kid: Can you do a reference check for me?
Me: *slightly confused... reference check?* Sure. Whatcha need?
Kid: Can you look up The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien and tell me if it's in.
Me: Oh! Definitely!
HA! For a second I seriously thought to myself... I don't understand.
