Remember me? I'm the mom that was following her toddler around the board books corner of the library. While your, let's call him son, sprawled out on the tiny couch made for toddlers playing his gameboy. Forgive me for assuming that you were in the children's section of the library in the interest of your non-book-reading son. When you asked if there was a story time starting soon, forgive me for making the assumption that you were interested in exposing said non-book-reading son to actual books. I pointed out that the story time was actually toddler time because your son was clearly years beyond toddlerhood, and most likely would not enjoy the activity. Perhaps a more appropriate reply from you would have included an explanation of your concern over story time, a considerate desire to move your laptop and non-book-reading son away from the toddler area in order to not be in the way. Being an ass and having an attitude does not convince anyone of your "thoughtful" intentions. I would suggest avoiding the children's section all together in the future, if you find interacting with mothers and their young children so irritating.

Well, I have been wondering where you were...found you, kicking ass in the children's book section of the public library!
You must have remembered to pack your mean eyes that day, did they notice?
Keep up the good work keeping the library sorted out by areas of interest...hehe
Well said!!!
