We must all be needing funny stories lately. Glad to read them, including the top ten reasons -- we need to laugh at ourselves. Yesterday my library aide at the elementary school (I supervise K-12) told me she had some leftover ends of the white bond paper she had copied and cut bookmarks for the kids from. Not wanting to waste it, she put them out for bookmarks also. A firstgrade boy said disgustedly, "What's this?" She thought fast and said, "They're decorate-yourself bookmarks." The little boy said, "Wow!," told his classmates, word spread, and they were the the first bookmarks gone that day with kids coming in at lunch, recess, and after school requesting the decorate yourself ones! We think we'll have a bookmark contest for Children's Book Week. Don't you think that will be a success?!!
