Out of the Mouths of Tweens

Last night I visited my local library, which had been closed for renovations for a few weeks until yesterday. They did a great job with it...added a second entrance (close to the parking lot!), lots more open space, better organization of collections, and so on. After checking out some CDs, a yoga DVD, and a few books, I headed for the door. As I was exiting, a kid about my middle son's age was entering with his mom. He commented, "Look at our lovely tax dollars." His embarrassed mother shushed him, but I couldn't help laughing. Laughed all the way to the car. Wonder whether the kid has a job yet. :-).
