How To Kill, To Kill A Mockingbird, Part 2
Bookstore | United Kingdom Books & Reading
(I find a young customer looking a little lost in the nature section.)
Me: “Can I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah, I’m looking for a book about killing birds.”
Me: “Killing birds?”
Customer: “Yeah, I need it for school.”
Me: “Do you mean To Kill a Mockingbird, by any chance?”
Customer: “Yeah that’s it! Do you have it?”
(I take him to the classics section and show him the book.)
Me: “You know, its not actually about killing birds.”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “It’s about social injustice in 1930′s America.”
Customer: “Oh. That doesn’t sound as much fun. Do you have any books about killing birds?”
Me: “I hope not.”
