This Unexpected Library Interaction Left Me Smiling – and Slightly Shook 😭

The following is a transcript of a conversation I had with a third grade student on Friday April 19th, 2024.

3rd Grade Student: You know what my favorite book is?

Me: No, what’s your favorite book?

3rd Grade Student: Okay, Andy!

Me: Oh yeah – I know that book – I like that one too.

3rd Grade Student: Did you know it has a second season?

Me: (Look of confusion)

Me: (Wheels turning)

Me: (Realizing what this student is saying)

Me: Ohh – like another book with the same characters? A sequel?

3rd Grade Student: Yeah! The second season is good too.

Second season. For a book. It makes me laugh, cry, and begrudgingly acknowledge the fact that it makes complete sense as a synonym for “sequel”.
