For most of the school year, Emmie had been going to the library first thing in the morning.  She stopped doing this because she now races one of the other students to get their morning work done.  She'd then forget to go to the library during self selection time such that she came home without a new library book several nights in a row.  This lead to later disappointment since she likes to read, and we often read her library book past "bedtime".  Yesterday.....

"I outsmarted you guys.  I picked out this book so I don't have to go to the library for 8 days."
