Lock up your library books

There is apparently a library book thief about. Can you believe it ? Jess certainly can.

Our darling eldest daughter has a messy room. To say she has a messy room is like saying Michael Phelps is an ok swimmer, or the West Coast Eagles are having an ordinary season. Her library books were due back last week. When I asked her to find them she oh so dramatically announced she couldn't possibly do that. When we further encouraged her to look, she went in there, stood among the mess and said they are not here. When further questioned she said there is no point looking they are not there. Why we asked. Because a thief broke in and stole them. When Greg asked her why a thief would ignore our wallets she answered "because the thief only likes reading " as if we were mighty stupid. So lock up your library books, there is a cunning thief about. There is also a mighty fine 8 year old storyteller and I know which one is scarier :) :)
