This afternoon was the first Lego Club at the Library for the season.  The library didn't have a regular scheduled volunteer for Wednesday afternoons - the former librarian would cover the desk until I came in for my usual 5 - 7 p.m. gig.   I got a call early in the week asking if I would fill in for the afternoon since this would be the first Lego Club experience for the new librarian.   The head of the Lego Club and the librarian collected and then escorted students from the school to the library.  The kids hit the doors like a tsunami - bubbling, gurgling and spreading throughout the racks.   I was given the responsibility of handing out small cups filled w/ animal crackers.  After a child finished their Lego creation they could come to my desk for their treat and then go to the children's corner to hear a book read to them.  This is when I realized that, to me, all little kids kinda look alike.  I'm pretty sure some of the little 'darlings' snookered me by coming back and asking for a second treat.  I'd ask if I hadn't already given them one but they would look me very seriously in the eye and shake their head no.  One of our regular patrons realized my difficulty and said she had some experience in this since she had run a Girl Scout troupe and had Boy Scouts meet at her home.  "It's easier to remember them by what they are wearing than their faces." was her sage advice.
