We just went through this....

DS7 read a book called "seedfolk" for LA. He had to write a paper on it. Over the weekend he complained that it was hard to write without the book to use as a reference. So off to the library we went to pick up a copy.

DS walked up to the librarian and asked her to find the book for him (he's too short to use the computers himself)She looked it up and realized that it was listed as young adult. She refused to get the book for him. He came and found me crying. I went back to the librarian and explained that it was a school assignment and that he had in fact already read the book. She didn't look like she believed me. I turned to my son and asked him to explain to her the content of the book. Within a few minutes she was off to the stacks!

I can understand saying no to a little kid, but to his mom?
