darchildreI meant to post this yesterday, but got distracted.
So, in the Bainbridge children's library, we have a big plexiglass box on top of one of the low shelves that contains some form of display. Often, it's stuff that some kid who uses the library has made and wants to show off. Right now, it's got a tableau of plush superheros/villains - there's a kid who draws his own comics (The Adventures of Laser Man!) and his parents made little plush figures of the characters. It's pretty cool.
So a different kid came in yesterday, looked at the superheros and then walked up to the children's librarian and said, "If I brought in a miniaturized solar-powered death ray and made sure it was turned off, would you put it on display?"
1) OMG, yes, bring that sucker in.
2) I once had an extensive conversation with this kid about dangerous undersea life and the intelligence of cephalopods, and now he is building death rays. I look forward to his future career as a supervillain.
