Car Riders

This morning on the way to school a big yellow school bus came flying up our (narrow) street so fast they nearly ran me into the non-existent ditch.

Me: Gosh!

Boy Child: Bus drivers always drive really fast.

Me: Hmm.

Boy Child: It's true. They hate their jobs so bad they just have to get it over with as quickly as possible.



Then, we came upon a large group of men standing around a orange "MEN WORKING" sign.

Boy Child: That sign is not accurate. It should read: MEN WAITING IN LINE FOR THE PORT-A-JOHN

Me: Perhaps.

Boy Child: Seriously, look at that guy. You can tell he's wishing he didn't have that second breakfast burrito.

Me: I know, right?



Several minutes later.

Boy Child: I'm glad that Port-A-Johns were invented. It's probably illegal to just poop in the wild. Unless you're a wolf. No one's giving a wolf a ticket!

Me: Sweetheart, I'm going to need you to get out of the car and go into the school now.




These are the things that make it worthwhile to wait in the drop-off lane. These are the reasons I never, ever turn on the radio when my children are in the car.

I sure wouldn't give a wolf a ticket, that's for sure.

I love children's commentaries. You never know what they will come up with. You could write a book of just his wise sayings. Kind of like "Poor Richard's Almanac", except he's not quite Ben Franklin. But he could be, right?

I can only imagine all the other conversations you have with those two that don't make it on the blog!
