You Really DO Say the Darndest Things!

Published by hmwatts on Wed, 10/31/2012 - 1:46pm

We love to talk with children and hear all about what they are thinking about. Here are some interesting snippets from conversations we've had at the reference desk recently....

A little girl claimed she doesn’t want to be a human, but she did want to be "humongous underwear."

Joke of the day from a yong man: “Know why there are few buildings taller than the library? Because there are so many stories in it!”

Boy: “Can you find the squirrel in there?” Mom: “I think you mean the GERBIL.”

“There are two camps of kids at my school, Camp Percy Jackson and Camp Harry Potter. If I read a Percy Jackson book, I’d be a traitor! It’s gods vs. wizards!”

Preschooler: “I don’t want to play on the iPad because I wanna play on the pirate boat!”
