Apple - I hope you get this resolved and the person leaves you alone.

DS will get introduced to three of my favorite movies back-to-back today. Freaky Friday (the Lindsay Lohan version), Matilda, and Mrs. Doubtfire. I'm sure he'll enjoy all three even though they're not Bee Movie. He's currently napping though so Freaky Friday may be over by the time he wakes up.

I rewatched Matilda recently and man that movie is pretty brutal! As far as the way the adults treat and talk to the children, lol

Total bummer, we went to a pullapart today to look for something for SO's truck and his son was so excited to check it out because he'd never been to one and we really talked up how cool it was.

But they wouldn't let him in! The age limit was 16 and he's only ten. He was really sad about it and him and I just looked over the fence from the bed of SO's truck while he was walking around the yard.

 I can understand the age limit at a pullapart, way to many pieces can fall, or roll over a kid. Glad you were with him. smile

Heading to the kids Bible school program in a few minutes. Always a fun time trying to guess who's little girl with pull her dress up over her head or which little boy will do a hip shoving match with the kids standing next to him.

...usually, it's one of our grand's;)

I ordered pizza for dinner. Went and picked it up, then dropped it in the driveway trying to close the door of the truck ☹️ A couple pieces were salvageable.

 I deleted all the texts but I do have a history of exchanges on email. 

 Call your phone provider and see if they can still get you a transcript of them.  Start keeping a log of every time you see him or hear from him.  Take pictures if you can.  Respond ONCE telling him to leave you alone so you have it, and then do not respond again.  If he contacts you again, notify the local police department so there is a trail. 

And Rule #9 - Always carry a knife.  (I'd say gun, but I know you can't and/or don't want to do that).

 If you had taken it back in, they most likely would have replaced it.

DS woke up at the end of Freaky Friday but enjoyed Matilda. I'm interested to see what he thinks of Mrs. Doubtfire.

 I was already home.  Plus, I wasn't going to try to have them replace the pizza because I'm a klutz. If anything, I would have ordered (and paid) for another pizza.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I was really hoping it would just stop.

On a different note, does anyone remember the movie Curly Sue?
The girl who played Curly Sue was on The Voice, she is a talented singer.

My last patrons of the day:

Ten minutes until closing, and I'm hanging on by a thread. A mother & 2 boys walk in. They are fairly new patrons, and I had helped them earlier in the week, when the older boy asked for Goosebumps books & insisted that he need to read the series "in order."

(There is no order to Goosebumps, but I can see it's important to him, so, no big deal.)

This visit, they asked for gardening books. We have a recorded announcement that plays at 15 minutes prior to closing and another at 5 minutes til. The 5-minute announcement played & the mother reminded her boys that they needed to choose one more book. To help, I suggested our Pokemon & Lego & Star Wars sections. The boys smiled & nodded.

Then the older boy came to the desk and asked if we had any books on "information." The closing announcement played. I asked what kind & he said, "Building." Building what? "Houses." Real houses that you live in? "Yes."

That's a tricky question for the children's room. We have books on architecture, a few on tree houses, a few that compare houses around the world...and all in different locations.

I decided to try architecture, but nothing grabbed his attention.

I apologized & checked out the books they had found.

Librarian humor, right? It's like the patrons who ask for "that book with the blue cover." And sometimes we can even find it!
