If I Only Had a Brain

Jonah is still interested in the body and checked out some books about the body on our recent, infamous trip to the Library (see previous post). He was reading one and sitting by Sam, telling Sam all about it. I heard this,

"Yeah Sam, everyone has a brain, even yoooouuuuuuuuuuu".

Kicked Out

Last week the kids were still home for Christmas break so we decided to go to the Library. We went and did the usual Library routine, hanging out in the kids section, playing a few games on the computer, jumping off the chairs a few times, MAYBE reading some books. Then we went over to check out the crafting books for Bekah and I. My usual approach to this is to sit Sam in the stroller and have him eat a snack. He was having none of that. Jonah sat down to read some stories he had chosen and Sam climbed and wriggled under a few chairs, they were somewhat under control I thought. A few times Sam ran to where I couldn't see him and I went to get him and put him in the stroller since running away is unacceptable. We were finishing up and getting ready to go. Sam was crying at this point because I put him in the stroller, hence the reason we were getting ready to leave. This is when the Librarian came over and asked me, "Were you getting ready to leave?". "Yes", I said. "Oh good, because we've had a few complaints", she said. I gave her a withering look as I finished getting Sam strapped in. "I know she said, I've been there". Ok, so I wasn't mad at her at all. BUT we were in that section for about 5-10 minutes and I know my limit and was leaving. I was flaming mad at those people who complained, obviously they have never had children. AND the kids weren't even being that bad. AND there were other kids behaving much worse. AND I feel that it is my right to be in the Library as much as anyone else. I have never had this happen in any Library I've ever been to, and my kids have really behaved much worse at times!
