I was working the front desk last Sunday, which was Mothers Day. A few patrons asked me if I was a mother, and then awkwardly backed out of saying "Happy Mothers Day" to me when I said that I wasn't (this may or may not be true--never tell patrons about your personal life!). However, here's where that conversation went with one patron, who immediately became my new favorite:
Patron: Are you a mother?
Me: No...
Patron: Well, happy Mothers Day anyway! You work at the library, so I'm sure you end up taking care of other people's kids ALL the time.
Yeah, mothers against our will!
