Oh yes, storytime at the library.
The first time I ever took my son, he had a meltdown because he didn't already know all the words and motions to the songs they sang. He said he was embarrassed because he didn't know what to do. I think he was 2 at the time.
During what became the last time we ever went, he had a major meltdown. The reason? The librarian held up a small hatbox and asked the kids what its shape was. All the other kids said, "circle," the shape of the lid, but DS said, "cylinder." When the librarian didn't hear him, he yelled it a few times, then dissolved into tears because everyone else was still saying the wrong thing!
I can't imagine how he would have acted if I'd taken him after he started reading well. Our librarian skips words if she's short on time, and I have a feeling he wouldn't have stood for it quietly.
