Al came to visit today and meet Nathan. He told us his story of trying to buy Maurice Sendak's "In The Night Kitchen" at a local Barnes & Noble.
Al: "I'm trying to find In The Night Kitchen by Sendak."
B&N clerk in the children's book department: "Who?"
"Maurice Sendak"
"Who? ... In The Night Kitchen? That's probably downstairs in cookbooks."
"No, it's not a cookbook."
(looks book up on the computer) "Well, it says we have one, but I don't know where. Maybe it's in the children's cookbooks section."
*sigh*
