Sometimes I really do adore my job.

Adam*, a high school sophomore, tosses a copy of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on the circ desk.

Adam:  Hey, Leila.  I have to check this book in off of Jason's card and check it out on mine.

Me:  No prob.  I loved this book.

Adam:  Yeah?  Well, Jason and Joey** won't let me go and see the movie with them unless I read it first.

**Two other high school sophomores.  It should probably also be noted that the "Jason" character in this drama has been running around with a mini-poster for over a week now, telling everyone who will listen that the casting of Michael Cera as Nick was a travesty.  He's ALSO the same kid who showed up for the Breaking Dawn release party wearing a headband and a piece of notebook paper taped to his chest:

Jason, proudly:  Did you read my sign?

Me:  "I'm a horse?"  Were there even any horses in any of the books?

Jason, squawking somewhat:  WHORE.  WHORE.  I'm a WHORE, not a horse!

Me, semi-exasperated, but also trying unsuccessful not to laugh:  What does that even mean?  

Jason:  DUH.  I'm BELLA!!  God.  So obvious.  Can I use a computer?

It probably shouldn't, but it still makes me laugh.
