Special Skillz

So the twins have been invited to volunteer at our local library.

They were approached by the head librarian and handed applications. She waived the minimum age requirement because as after-school regulars, they have demonstrated maturity, a love of reading, and an ability to use hushed voices without being reminded 15,000 times.

As you can imagine, I'm very proud.

So they each sat down to fill out the application, which quite closely resembled an application for a real job, complete with a line for references.

Full name -- last name first, etc.
Address
Emergency contact

It was pretty standard.

"Special Skills?" asked The Deuce. "What do they mean by that?"

"Special skills are skills you have that make you a great fit for the job," I explained. "They set you a part from other applicants."

Deuce thought about it for a moment, then she wrote:

Special Skills: Reading aloud, shelfing, singing.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that two of her three "special skills" aren't even allowed in the library.
