A good friend of mine (J) is taking a class with a legendary librarian in Oakland who does storytime. J was reading to the kids for the first time the other day.
J: "You don't think they'll mutiny on me, do you?"
Me: "Just don't read them Lord of the Flies and put ideas in their head."
speaking of libraries. did I tell you Nancy Pearl is going to speak at my library?

I skimmed. Happy that I didn't skip.
Filled with awwwww and happy thoughts. Yay Teppy and Boy!!
And yay for found wallets!
The boys have gone to a football game so I will have peace and quiet to watch SciFi stuff. Whee!
I forgot to say yay for the L word!
and yay for the found wallet.
It is fairly warm today but it still time for chili and apple crisp.
Yay Carrots! And also, yay wallets!
I borrowed some books from the kids section of my library when I was researching my tattoo. (They turned out to be a terrific picture resource.) Perhaps it was just the Learn Exciting Historical Stuff section, but all the books I grabbed were either sticky or outright slimey. Luckily the ones I needed were only sticky. But even so, I had to wash my hands every time I looked through them. But what can you do? Wee fingers go up wee noses or in wee mouths, and then they touch the books. And I definitely want to encourage them in the grabbing the books part of the equation.
It beats Lutherans.
Only if they ask pretty. And use a safeword.
Awwwww... The L Word and The Boy.
Trudy, did you get my follow-up e-mail? I have this fear that Gmail is selectively cyber-shredding my e-mails.
Got it, Teppy. And thanks.
