Conversation between myself and a 10 year old girl in line at the library
- Girl: Oh, is this the line to check out books? I just need to ask a question, because I want to volunteer at the library.
- Me: Oh, cool. (beat) I think the information desk is over there (I point to where the information desk is).
- Girl: The guy said I needed to talk to someone else...I think he said Helen Keller.
- Me: Oh yeah?
- Girl: Yeah, she's an author or something. The author of the story of my life.
- Me: Hmmm. (Consider this for a moment, and then, trying not to laugh, turn around slowly, and wait to check out books.)
