About a decade ago when I was working in the junior high library, I had a student library aide whom I will call "Jack." He was a lot of fun to have around, but not very serious about professionalism in his capacity as a library worker.
A few days ago I was going through some old files and discovered this far right-hand slice of a photograph, featuring the very sassy "Jack" in rare form. I wish I could remember the circumstances of the photograph, but all I remember is that it was taken with my camera, and the Librarian and I were too focused on whatever was in the foreground to notice Jack's peripheral contribution until later.
There was a post-it attached to the slice, a note to the Librarian. I had written an assurance that I DID speak to Jack sternly about his shameful shenanigans, and gave him a detention, but could I please keep this sliver of the photograph? Because it's pretty funny.
