Humor: Practice what you preach

[Susan Beall <sbeall@MLSD.WEDNET.EDU>]

Just got this from an Elementary librarian:

>>    After telling the students for the past four years, to treat your
>> books
>>      like your best friend, I really blew it. Yesterday a yellow
>> jacket flew
>>      into the library and landed on the window. All I had in my hand
>> was a
>>      shelf marker (paint stick) so I proceeded to hit the yellow
>> jacket with
>>      it (not smart).
>>      After missing it a few times and seeing that the yellow jacket
>> was
>>      getting annoyed, I picked up a book and knocked it down. I heard
>> a gasp
>>      from the students and one little boy said," Mrs. Weimer! You did
>> not
>>      treat that book like a best friend!" I think they may need
>> counseling.
>>
