Heyyy that's me on @abc7ny doing my favorite thing in my favorite place with a few of my favorite people!!! 😻🌈📚🦄 @mayorbaraka's 10-pt literacy plan kicks ass, and I'd pick @newarklibrary over anywhere in the world to be doing this work. 💖 abc7ny.com/13519631/

You could take the Elephant Seal of Approval everywhere with you and any time someone tried to stop you from doing something, you could just be like "pardon me, but I have an Elephant Seal of Approval for this action"

Sometimes in important meetings people would try to cramp your style and you'd just go "do I really need to point out the Elephant Seal in the room"

Kiddo, age 4: There's lava down there. And a hoc! Me: A hoc? Caregiver: You mean like the bird? Hawk? Kiddo: NO! Not a hoc, a HOC!!! *rolls eyes, retreats to toy grocery store* I'm just gonna cook more food. Readers. He meant a "SHARK."

Me, in Firm Librarian Voice because I have already said this 5 thousand times: "Folks. You need. To keep. Your voices. Down." Kiddo, gleefully and at top volume: "BUT WE'RE PLAYING ROBLOX!!!"

Met a child whose mom nicknamed him The Grinch. Why? Because he interpreted the book as an aspirational tale about getting everyone's presents. Still believes the actual Grinch was foolish to reform at the end.

Pre-K Teacher: "What do we say to the librarian for reading us a book?" Kiddo: "Bye-bye, Book!!"

Just crushed a very important meeting until the part at the end when I accidentally crushed my hand in the elevator door.
