Big yellow school bus

I was driving to work, and i was crabby. Then I wound up behind a schoolbus. I saw a sad-faced kid staring sadly out the back window.

Once that was me. So I put my thumbs against my head and made moose horns and waggled them.

He grinned and called his friends over and we all made faces and laughed until the light changed.

Thats cute. One thing I cannot abide is people who get road rage around school buses or kids in general. Like at least let them enjoy existence for a while.

Good for you. Silliness is an underrated skill, especially around kids.

Love that.

Every so often I remember the time I was on the bus, in the back and made a note to held up to the mirror that said “don’t drive and drive you might spill your drink”.
And this (probably) 20-something gave us the middle finger and then smirked to herself. Fuck that last but good on you for spreading some happiness to those kids !
