What would YOU do?

This little gem was sent to me today and Im wondering...what would YOU Say if you were the librarian?? Or better yet, what would you actually say and what would you WANT to say??

From MOM:
"I just read The Polar Express to the afternoon kindergarten....after the story, I give each student a bell on a necklace, and tell themI talked to one of Santa's elves and asked if he could get them fromSanta's sleigh (just like in the book)...the kids were SO excited...EXCEPTfor one (who KNOWS EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING)..."they're not from Santa'sleigh, you don't know an elf, there are Santas everywhere, Santa's comingto MY house first,"....it's amazing how ONE kid can ruin a story for therest of the class - drives me crazy. Oh well, the rest of them reallyENJOYED the story and believed the elf story.Just had to get that off my chest."

So? What would you say to little Johnny?

Put my foot in his ass, take his bell and tell him Santa is bringing him a box of nails for being such a little shit! :)

The whole point of The Polar Express is about believing. Obviously that flew over the kid's head. I would just get the smart-aleck into a deep discussion about history's view on seeing vs. believing and see how he holds up. The other kids already know that kid's a jackass.

If he doesn't like Polar Express - see if he likes The Christmas Story...maybe he'll be dumb enough to stick his tongue to the flagpole at recess...that will teach him!

look at all the anonymous replies! it's not like Children's Services is monitoring this website!!
Tell the little cookie cruncher that Santa is stopping at his house 1st because the reindeers need somewhere to use as a reststop to take a dump before giving the normal,well behaved kids their gifts.
