Deadlines

Dear Jesse,

Today is August 20th. Summer reading ended on August 9th. The librarian informed your son of that today when we went to pick out his book. I don’t have a job, so I should be able to handle the minimal responsibility of remembering when August 9th is. Although, if I had a job, maybe I’d be more up to speed with dates in general.

Also, I’m concerned that a disproportionate number of#thingsidontwanttotelljesseinperson are library related and that my readers will lose interest.

Fines

Fines

Dear Jesse,

Yesterday, we owed over $40 in library fines. I was like, “I’m an idiot and I do have some overdue books but $40 seems pretty steep.” So I didn’t mention it to you. I did return the 28 books, CDs & DVDs though.

Today, I got this letter from the Denver Public Library (see photo). I just checked our account, and since I returned the DVD they thought I’d stolen or lost, our fines went down to only $10!!

Related, I think I’m going to start a blog “Things I Don’t Want to Tell Jesse In Person.” #thingsidontwanttotelljesseinperson
