My dad would not last long in the library world. He and my mom are visiting for the entire month of June, and they were in the library this morning. Early in the day. When it's still quiet. Before all the screaming children and the raspy, grabby parents arrive. Before the teenagers wake up and haul their skateboards inside. Before the worst of the noise and disrespect and craziness take over the library. As they were leaving, my dad saw a little boy trying to break our tension barriers (and possibly doing other loud kid stuff). A kid I hadn't even noticed.
"Can I punch that kid?" Dad asked.
I told him there was no punching in the library, but by the end of the day I wanted to punch a few people myself.
Must take a vacation.

Yeah. I feel your dad. Today I had this thought: "Ugh. I hate parents. Working here has made me hate parents."
Didn't you just get back from vacation? SIGH! Take off for your birthday or something!
