Story Time At The Library

 Betty had put down the book that she had checked out at the library and was playing with her little boy, Joey. His trucks and cars had been having a contest to see which was the fastest and which one was the hardest worker. Some of his trucks could carry three of his cars! He had to teach his mom all about the cars and trucks. She didn't seem to know much about them. He grinned and said, "Mom, how about we go get some ice cream? I think you are getting tired of playing trucks. You really aren't very good at it."

His mom thought about it for a minute and said, "I think that's a great idea. Get your shoes on and let's see if they have split cones. I love chocolate and vanilla together."

In no time they were in the car headed for McDonalds. The road department was putting in new sidewalks for a few blocks next to the highway so there were times when the flagman would stop the traffic because only one side could go at a time. When they got close to the library there was a sign that said that there would be a story time on Saturday. "Hmm, Grandma Lu is going to be telling a story Saturday, Would you like to go and listen to some stories this weekend, Joey?"

Joey told his mom that he would if the stories were about trucks or dinosaurs. Those two things were his favorite. Betty decided that she would call the library and see what the stories were going to be about and if they were for children of a certain age.

Joey and his mom decided to sit inside to eat their ice cream cones. They were so good. Joey's mom asked him if he had finished "reading" his book that he had gotten at the library. If so, they would take it back on Saturday when they went to story time. She was very interested in this lady called Grandma Lu. Why did she think that she was important to her somehow. Anyway it was time to go home.

When they got home she called the library and asked about the story time and what Grandma Lu would be talking about or would she be reading a book to children? She had never been to a story time at a library before.

The librarian told her that she would be talking about her childhood and Saturday's stories would be about family reunions and all that they entailed when she was a child. The librarian assured her that Grandma Lu's stories were fun for all ages.
