why is it that i never really know what i'm doing?

i went to school. got the 27k in debt to prove it. they taught me all kindsa nifty stuff.

and yet, what do i do when an 8 year old pees on the floor in a stream from the self checks to the kids computers? (and just how big is an 8 year old's bladder anyway?) what do i do when a man with garlic and steak breath professes his undying love to me. again. for the 3rd time today.

this is a chronicle of what i did, when the crazy happened. which, in a public library is much more often than you'd think. and which, they also don't teach you about in liberry skool.

oh, and there's also a book review or two.

if only everyone were johnny appleseed

Tall: Great American FolktalesTall: Great American Folktales by Donnie Lemke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

loved! great pictures, great stories, great theme. our american tall tales teach us in an awesomely exxagerated way what is really great in ourselves. as someone who is surrounded by kids every day at work, it pains me that these tales are being told less and less in our schools and not being carried on through the next generation. who doesn't love big blue?? who doesn't feel good about how kind johnny appleseed was for all his life? and who doesn't admire good old paul bunyun who beat that dirty-work-taking machine? kids will really fall for this fun and interesting comic book that shares some great american icons.
