Working Bird

All I've had time for recently is work-type things. Fortunately, there's still a bit of room for painting at work every once in a while. 

Summer Reading is almost here!

I have invented a matching game for you! Read the quotes below and match them with one of the options from the word bank! 

REMEMBER: options from the word bank may be used more than once, and not every option will be used.

"I don't like my water bottles to pee. Or poop."

"I really should have eaten supper. Um. I mean, breakfast."

"Which of these things is not like the other: cherries, cheese, or milk?"

Cherries.

"No! Milk!"

What? But, milk and cheese are both dairies!

"It's because milk is unhappy."

Milk is a very happy food! Unless they take away all of its fat. Then it gets depressed.

"Can I renew these cds?"

No. I'm sorry, but you've already renewed them one time, so they'll have to go back on the shelf.

"When can I check them out again?"

After they've been shelved. It may take a couple of days.

"Well, so, I can't have them now?"

No.

"Can you go shelve them right now so that I can have them now?"

No.

"Why can't I have them now. It doesn't make sense."

Well, since these are public library materials, we want to give other people in the community a chance to enjoy them.

"Can I buy them?"

No.

"Should we go shelve?'

NO. There are so many kids in there right now.

"How many kids?"

So many.

"I think I might shelve. I haven't shelved yet today."

Don't do it. It's horrible in there.

"What happened to you?"

"Where's the bathroom?"

It's down that hallway. *points* Here's the key. The ladies' room is the third door on the right.

*points down the stairs* "Down here?"

No, ma'am. Down the hallway right behind you.

*points up the other stairs* "Up there?"

No, ma'am, it's down the hallway.

"The hallway?"

*gets up, shows patron the hallway* Third door on the right. 

*points at first door* "This one?"

No, the third door.

*points at second door (labeled "Men")* "This one?"

No, the next one.

*points at third door, (labeled "Women")* "This one?"

Yes.

*tries key* "The key don't work."

*goes to door, turns key, unlocks door* Here you go. Just leave the key in the door.

"Leave the key in the door? And I'll be able to get out?"

Yes, ma'am.

"Do you remember whether Starbucks has a good chai?"

No. I almost never get chai.

"Do you remember if I've ever had a chai there?"
