Sometimes I really do adore my job.
Adam*, a high school sophomore, tosses a copy of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on the circ desk.
Adam: Hey, Leila. I have to check this book in off of Jason's card and check it out on mine.
Me: No prob. I loved this book.
Adam: Yeah? Well, Jason and Joey** won't let me go and see the movie with them unless I read it first.

**Two other high school sophomores. It should probably also be noted that the "Jason" character in this drama has been running around with a mini-poster for over a week now, telling everyone who will listen that the casting of Michael Cera as Nick was a travesty. He's ALSO the same kid who showed up for the Breaking Dawn release party wearing a headband and a piece of notebook paper taped to his chest:
Jason, proudly: Did you read my sign?
Me: "I'm a horse?" Were there even any horses in any of the books?
Jason, squawking somewhat: WHORE. WHORE. I'm a WHORE, not a horse!
Me, semi-exasperated, but also trying unsuccessful not to laugh: What does that even mean?
Jason: DUH. I'm BELLA!! God. So obvious. Can I use a computer?
It probably shouldn't, but it still makes me laugh.
