Quote of the Month April 2016- Hayden

Soooo Hayden Rick Rolled us at the last Teen Advisory Board Meeting when I asked them to introduce themselves to the new member. The text reads:
When introducing themselves "My name is Hayden and I'm....Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down” 

Quote of the Month: Lily

"How romantic, you smell of freshly puked apples." Lily W.

This was Lily's reaction at discovering that in one of the versions of Snow White, the prince wakes the princess, not with a kiss, but by jostling a bite of the poisoned apple from her throat.

Here is a handy link to the Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts. Professor D. L. Ashliman created it when he was at the University of Pittsburgh. Here is a link to his translations of a bunch of different versions of the Snow White story so you can compare them yourself!

This was at our book discussion of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman on 5/6/15.

"An emu ... it's like an ostrich but less...ostrich like."
