Is it just me?

Student: I turned in that book.
Me: Are you sure?
Student: I'm positive.
Me: Well, I'll look for it and see if it's here.
(long pause)
Me: Uhhh
Student: I'll wait.
Me: I can't do it now.
Student: I want to know if it's here.  I'll look for it.
(looking — I get up to look with him).
Me: Nope, it's not here.
Student: What about the other book?  I returned that too.
Me: You did?
Student: Did so-and-so bring that book back?
Me: Why would HE have your book?
Student: I let him take it, and he said that he would check it in and then check it out to himself.
Me: Well, you're responsible for your books.
(he starts walking towards the door)
Student: I know where they are.  I'll bring em both back today.
Me: (blank stare)
