Library Antics

Not that I expect my girls to follow me in my profession, but it warms my heart to see the twins love going to the public library for storytime and borrowing books. However, watch how pride turns to despair as I recount the last visit the girls made. It started off as normal...of course, it always does! They had storytime, they did some activities, and then they chose some nice books for bedtime reading. Finally, it was off to the Loans Desk to borrow the books.

Well, here's where it happens. The girls love to sit on the counter so they can see the book borrowing procedure happen before their eyes. Sarah, forthright as usual, asks the Librarian if she could stamp her with an animal ink stamp (what, like she's at a nightclub or something!?). Shocked, the Librarian asks which animal ink stamp would she like. Sarah replies, "this one, this one, aaaaaand this one!" So the Librarian places an animal ink stamp, one on each of her chubby hands, but Sarah is still adamant she wants the third stamp. The Librarian says, "But dear, you've only got two hands, where can you put the third stamp?" To which Sarah promptly replies, "Here!" and points her little finger directly at her forehead!!!

Sigh! I try to bring them up tame, but that Maltese blood just gets in the way....

ODD SPOT: The venom in a Daddy Long-Legs spider is more poisonous than the venom of a Black Widow but they cannot bite humans because their jaws won't open wide enough.

PS: And of course, I'm going to test this out for myself...NOT!!!
