so at my middle school library, you simply had to write your name on a slip of paper to check out a book. each week our homeroom teacher would read out the titles of overdue books and the names of kids who’d checked them out. in advance of April fools in 6th grade, I checked out what I considered the weirdest books in the library (stuff like “your changing body”) under the names of all the boys in my class. my teacher read out the list on April 1 and all the kids were like “what!!! I swear I didn’t check that out!!” In retrospect I have no idea how this unhinged yet clever idea entered my developing brain
