The majority of people have no idea what I look like. Or you might have an idea what I look like, but you don't know to connect that look with what I look like. Something you should know about me is that I do not have bushy eyebrows. I look pretty Italian. I have dark hair and dark eyes. I have hipster bangs. And my eyebrows, they are very proportionate to the rest of my face. This will be important later.
Today I went on a school visit to a local elementary school. The first class was great. We talked about safari animals and they sang a song for me about wanting their parents to buy them a pet. After lunch and recess duty (I am all about recess duty. Kids follow you around like you're a little celebrity) I went to the second class. As I sat in the storytelling chair, some girls from the class came up to me and asked me questions (How old are you? Why is your hair shiny?). And then one girl moved my bangs and FELT UP MY EYEBROW. She then said, "hmmm".
Librarianship is not all fun and games, friends. Sometimes it means letting some kid pet your eyebrow.

Kids are weird. Well, and amazing, too, because sometimes I feel like doing socially inappropriate things but I can't because I'm an adult with impulse control. Like today during brunch I wanted to squirt a bottle of mustard all over my boyfriend--I really, really wanted to, could visualize it, in fact--but I didn't. If I were 15 years younger no one would have stopped me.
Today, I had a kid yell "yeah, right" after every paragraph I read. That's not at all disconcerting.
hahaha kids are too funny.
Pretty funny! I used to teach small kids Sunday School and they'd sit on the floor in front of me and inevitably, one of the kids would always rub my legs. They liked the feel of panyhose.
Did that song sound something like, "If I only had a dog for a pet for a pet for a pet...if I only had a dog for a pet it would be the greatest thing yet"?
actually, it was more like "mommy, daddy, please/buy a pet for me/i am old enough to learn/responsibility"
I give it a 9.8. It has a good beat and you can dance to it.
