The Baby (Part II)

Patron and infant: Okay so, here’s the baby’s library card.

Me, still making googley eyes: Cool thanks. There are no holds on this card.

Coworker: What’s the last name?

Patron: Jenkins*

Me: Can I see your card? … Wait, I thought you said the name was Jenkins?

Patron: Oh, it’s hyphenated. Jones-Jenkins*.

Me: Well. There are no holds for this card, either.

Patron: I wonder if it’s under my other child’s card.

Me: What’s their name?

Patron: [Firstname] Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff.

Me, internally: Are you fucking serious

Patron: I’m a modern parent.

Me: what does that EVEN MEAN

*I changed all the names, obviously
