I would say that a certain library lady has made a hit with an 11/13 year old.

What an interesting encounter! And let's hope the spark you undoubtedly struck will grow into a flame...
And no, Jag will most certainly never wear a Christmas costume or any other form of attire, although I usually let him wear the bandana his hair stylist inflicts on him, at least for a few days...

You gave that lad a wonderful experience that he will not forget, love and kindness from a librarian stranger that he probably fell in love with and never mind any ages.

Great! I loved it. I feel a kinship to any "old lady" (speaking from the teen's point of view) who can interact successfully and pleasantly with teens.
