Jane Ey-re-animation

(It’s the end of the summer. A high-school-aged customer comes in.)

Customer: “Hi, I’m looking for Frankenstein by ‘J somebody’.”

Me: “Actually, that was written by Mary Shelley. We have several copies.”

Customer: “No, it’s written by ‘J somebody’. Look it up.”

(I look it up. It’s definitely written by Mary Shelley.)

Customer: “Hang on, I’ll call my mom.”

(He comes back.)

Customer: “It’s Frankenstein by Jane Eyre.”

Me: “Sorry sweetheart, looks like you have to read two books.”

Customer: “Aw man!”
