We All Need A Little Romans


A trio of teen girls needed some help. While I was doing a catalogue search for teen A, teen B asks if I knew where "Roman books" were. I gave her my most penetrating stare which seems to make my ears work better. "The Romans?" I clarified. She must have a speech impediment. She turned to her friend for understanding and said,
"you know the Romans books."
"Quit the fake accent."
"It's naught fake!"

Teen girls, dramatic aspirations ding ding ding, ah, romance. After escorting them back to the fiction section, teen A came back to ask where the paperbacks were located.
"The paperbacks are with the Romans in Fiction."
