For some reason this reminded me of an incident when I was only in my
early twenties (in the '80s). I was in a music store, and I overheard
two teenagers talking about Paul McCartney and Wings' newest album. One
said, "Did you know Paul McCartney used to be in another band called the
Beatles?" The other teen said, "That's a strange name for a band!" I
think that's the first time I ever felt old.

Okay so I am in Borders last night picking up some books for school and
some Christmas gifts and I guess it's the librarian in me, but I am
listening to what people are looking for. Here are a couple of the
conversations.
Couple #1
-"The Golden Compass, I wonder what that is?"
"It's a movie. The churches are protesting it because it is
controversial."
"Oh, never heard of it."
Couple #2
"I wonder if they have The kite runner on DVD?
I have to step in and say it has not been released on DVD yet.
"Wasn't there another one?
"Yes, it's called night of a thousand suns and it's right over there."
"Have you read it? Is it any good?"
"Yes, they are both very well written."
"Thanks."
Couple #3
" I would like to find Little Women and the Black Stallion but I don't
know where to look because I don't know how they have things arranged
here."
"Let's just look around."
In my browsing I come across Little Women and tell them that I am sorry
to eavesdrop but here is the book that they are looking for.
"It's so thick and there is more than one kind."
I continue shopping and find Black Stallion so I offer that to them.
"This is great. How do you find everything?"
"I guess it's because I'm a librarian and I am used to helping people
find books."
"Thank you, we were so lucky to find a librarian doing her Christmas
shopping"
I think-Yes you were.
