What Happens When You Kill Spider-Man’s Dog
(I work in a library. A patron approaches the counter with a DVD.)
Patron: “Is this Spider-Man?”
Me: “No, that’s a movie called Spiderwick.”
Patron: “Oh… Well, my son wanted Spider-Man; do you think this will be all right?”
Me: “Well, it’s a completely different movie, so I couldn’t tell.”
Patron: “Yeah, well… it has spiders in it, at the very least. Also, it says I can have the movie for a week, but would it be okay if I return it tomorrow, instead?”
Me: “Well, sure.”
