Overheard in the teen stacks

Only smart people are unafraid of peering up the inside of noses.

At the library browsing, two girls around 12/13 years old were pouring through a book, their heads close together. They seemed like really good pals.


Girl #1: ::points to something on the page:: Whoa, that's a big word.

Girl #2: Yeah. Should we get it [the book]? People will think we're too smart, or something.

Oh girls, there is no such thing as "too smart." Please don't let people make you think otherwise.
