At Buffalo Branch, where a little girl of about 5 or 6 comes up to the circulation desk.
Me: "Hi, can I help you?"
One-Track Mind Girl: "Liberry Card!"
Me: (Assuming she wants a library card) "Okay, have you had one before?"
OTMG: "Liberry Card!"
Me: (Trying to figure out what she wants) "Are you wanting to check out books?"
OTMG: (She's not special needs or anything, she just wants to be difficult. Ergo, she loses any cuteness and becomes just another punk kid) "Liberry Card!"
Me: "You'll have to be more specific than just 'library card.'"
OTMG: "Liberry Card!"
I'll spare you the rest of this, but it ended up with her just yelling "Liberry Card!" at me for five minutes until her mother finally showed mercy and pulled her away from the desk.
