I don't like children; I'm no babysitter.
I'm certainly not the type to fatten kids up for food, nor keep them around for frankly subpar cleaning skills.
But I certainly was the type to let them eat any sugary treats I handed to them - and I could create a lot of treats - before their parents returned to fetch them.
In theory eating was not allowed in the library, but I'm no librarian either.
Just let a witch read in peace, or else.
@Teryl_Pacieco But isn't this kind of counterproductive? If you give them lots of sugary treats, wouldn't they get a sugar rush? ;)
Unless you gave them SO much that they can't move anymore? :D
@trinsec This is more to punish the parents after they pick their [now hyperactive and/or possibly on the verge of vomiting] children up.
@Teryl_Pacieco I figured, but you wanted to read in peace! :D
@trinsec Witches live a long time and can be patient.
It's not like she can monitor every person who comes in to leave their child; sometimes a child IS there to ead quietly or be tutored.
What more creative solution would you propose?
@Teryl_Pacieco That kind of depends. Do you feel like reading kid's books? PROGRESSIVE kid's books? Oh boy, are they in for a treat! Especially if you're good at doing voices and facial expressions too!
@trinsec This witch dislikes children, giving them candy and sending them away is one thing but reading to them? Helping them learn hard words? No thank you.
@Teryl_Pacieco 😂 🤣
Fair enough! 😄 Though there shouldn't be really hard words in a kid's book!
Oooh oooh, what about self-reading books?
