Some People Just NEED To Complain About Something

One time at my bookstore, we had a traveling group come through that was putting on a show at all the stores in the chain. It was all about the children’s book series “Junie B. Jones”, which is about a Pre-K kid. The person playing Junie B. was a somewhat short girl in her twenties. She came out and told stories and sang, and the kids had a great time.

Afterward, the kids could get their books “signed” by Junie B. In reality, it was just a rubber stamp, but the kids didn’t care; they were just amped to talk to her.

But one father was kind of grumpy about it.

Father: “You’re just stamping the books? You don’t even sign them?”

Junie B.: “I’m only five.”

The father clammed up immediately and looked embarrassed. We could tell she had gotten that question before with the speed and ease of her reply.
