You Get to Go on the Bookmobile

Second time we went to a specific Headstart, I walked up to the classroom door to do a storytime. A little boy got a disgusted look on his face and asked if he had to go on the bookmobile. I said, "No, you get to go on the bookmobile."
"Is Mr Jim out there?"
"Yes"
"Is Miss Becky out there?"
"Yes"
"Okay, I'll go," as he trudged off into the room.

A month (2 stops) later.
I walk up to the same classroom door to be greeted by the exact same boy. He took one look at me, started to run around the room, yelling, "The bookmobile is here. Put away your toys. She going to read to us."
