[LM_NET] HUMOR: The teacher needs a chair

[Kim Platnick <kplatnick@YAHOO.COM>]

You never know what your patrons will need in the library.

This week we had a student teacher stop by the library and ask to borrow a chair.  
She said that the teacher needed her to get a chair for a mother to use.  We told 
her to take any chair she needed and offered to help carry, but she just thanked us 
and borrowed a chair.

Then the teacher came in and told us that she had asked the student teacher to go 
to the library and grab "A Chair for My Mother" -- the picture book.  She assumed 
that the student teacher was familiar with the book.  And we all know what happens 
when you assume.

I wish I'd seen the teacher's face when her student teacher showed up with a heavy 
wooden chair.
