Over fashionably 10 year old: "You have beautiful hair. I want hair that color."
Favorite student of the year: "It is golden."
Chorus of brown nosers: "Yeah."
Over fashionably 10 year old: "It is just so silky."
Judge me all you want for letting the hair conversation infringe into a multiplication lesson. I am too busy swishing my beautifully golden, silky tresses to care.

Reformed Library User
Not only did I return my books in the month they were due, I payed my fines in the year they were levied. I am rising above my delinquent library status.
A sad fact in my past library life is that I USED TO only pay enough of my overwhelming fines to keep me under the $25 maximum limit. But not now; now, I pay the whole fine. I do not wait for the dollars to slowly pile up, and then dole out quarters and dimes to keep my library account afloat. I pay the whole dollar. Slightly because of sheer guilt and terror - the older librarians know stern like they were schooled in it. But slightly more because I am a good library user.
