A lady called to tell us that her daughter was in the library.
"Her name is Yvonne. I left her there and I will be back to pick her up in sixty to ninety minutes."
Me: Um, ok. [unsure what I am expected to do with this information]
"I asked the librarian and she said it was OK."
[so why are you telling me this now?]
"She is not supposed to leave the library until I pick her up."
Me: Does she know this?
"Yes."
Me: Well, OK then. [there were at least 50 school-aged kids in the library at that point. Did she expect me to go around and ask each one of their names and then keep a special lookout for Yvonne in case she tried to sneak out? I don't think so.]
