Sometimes, in the craziness of a school day and the inability of many children to enunciate with any degree of accuracy, I find myself answering the wrong questions.
Today, I had half a dozen little boys asking me for World Record books (of course they were all checked out because, hi, those are my highest circulating materials (much to my dismay)).
A few minutes later, one of the boys got into a little argument with a girl from the class and I came over to settle things.
The little girl said loudly, “He says World Records are real!”
I instantly and emphatically said, “They are real.” (I thought to myself, kids are so weird).
The little boy looked triumphant and said, “I TOLD you werewolves were real.”
Oh. Um, sorry.

Wait, they're not real? My Twilight dreams are crushed.

I might have choked a little from laughing while reading this story. Much to the concern of my co-workers! Priceless!
Merry says
I love it!

Operation Pink Herring says
Everyone knows they're really shapeshifters.
Katie Rich says
I think you answered the correct question, Ms. Team Jacob. Way to cover with the "world record" story though.
Sherry says
This is exactly what is wrong with public schools these days!
Noelle says
Ha ha, I love it. A little too much Twilight in circulation. 🙂
Carole says
So, how did you set the record straight?
Or did you?
Shelly says
BWHAHAHAHA!!!! Awesome. I can just hear the conversation at THAT house tonight!
Peaceful Reader says
What is it about those record books circulating more than anything! I don't get it either…but I've yet to hear them confused with werewolves-very funny slip!
