MOLLY: Step one: get all those books into one big pile.
Come on.
LAUREL: Go ahead and toss the books your child has outgrown and, more importantly, the ones
you hate reading.
MOLLY: You're feeling pretty guilty about getting rid of that one book, huh?
That's all right.
You can keep that one.
MEGAN: All right.
LAUREL: Okay.
Keep that one too.
I know you've had it a long time.
MEGAN: Thanks.
MOLLY: You know what?
Fine.
Just keep all the books.
MEGAN: Okay, thank you.
And what about this, there's two of these, but you know what if something happens--
MOLLY: I said just keep all the books.
MEGAN: Thanks.
LAUREL: You're going to want to arrange the books in a way that's easy for your child
to find the one she wants.
There are several options including title...no, title.
MOLLY: Color.
LAUREL: Font size.
MOLLY: Award recognition.
LAUREL: Moral lesson taught.
MOLLY: Publication date.
LAUREL: And rhyme scheme.
MOLLY: Today we're going with size of book.
That will give a uniform look to your bookshelf and keep smaller books from getting lost.
MEGAN: Oh, found it.
LAUREL: When arranging by size, start with the largest books and then decrease in size
from there.
Okay.
Make it your own but do it right.
MOLLY: Oh wait, you missed this medium size one.
That's okay.
We'll just shift everything.
Easy.
MEGAN: Okay.
MOLLY: Okay.
Can you just hold that up?
MEGAN: Yeah.
MOLLY: I've got the size figured out.
MEGAN: i think it's too big there.
LAUREL: Oops.
Here's another book you missed.
This section's already full so we'll just have to redo it and then we'll get it in there.
MEGAN: Can I just jam it in?
LAUREL: Oh sure.
Just jam it.
MOLLY: Just jam it.
LAUREL: Jam it!
MEGAN: Yeah, I'm trying to jam it but it won't jam.
LAUREL: Oops.
Found another big book you missed.
MEGAN: Were you hiding that?
LAUREL: Why would I do that?
I'm trying to help you.
MEGAN: Okay, you know what?
I'm done.
The kids are just going to mess this up immediately--
MOLLY: Uh-oh.
Found another box of books.
MEGAN: Oh.
MOLLY: Got to put these in.
MEGAN: My gosh, I don't care.
I'm done.
MOLLY: You don't care?
MEGAN: No, I don't.
MOLLY: If you don't have an organized bookshelf, your kids won't know how to read.
MEGAN: Ah!
MEGAN: Anthony, can you say The BreakWomb?
ANTHONY: No!
