Got Smacked By The Race Card...

We live up a hill. As the school buses are kinda wheezy, she's always the first picked up and the last to be dropped off. She considers it a social hour.

I remember the bus ride to high school well. The "cool" kids sat at the very back, freshies at the front. As your social status changed, you would be effectively moved up or down the bus. I always thought it odd that the seniors would think they are cool riding the bus while I (and a few others I know) were driving to school by the 10th grade. As a matter of fact, I only ever rode the bus when the Z was "down" and I didn't have time to gas up the Vette.

Funny part though, is that if you send that family to the back, it is also the front. Could have some fun confusing them there...

Missed out on all school bus fun. My Mom wouldn't allow me to ride a bus. Fought this @ first, then realized how lucky I was not to have to get up in the early a.m. dark & cold mornings. Guess I missed social hrs. though. ;)

They have cameras installed on our local school and city buses. That way, they can review them to see who started the fires.
Not exaggerating.
Don't think you missed much, MS! ;)

No, am positive I didn't DisneyMom. Mom was a teacher. She knew I was an instigator. I assume I didn't ride school bus to protect Her reputation.

My bus came by my stop twice since i was on the main road it would go to the furthest stop and work it's way back to the school. so I had a choice to get to the stop at 5:30am or wait till 7:15am. I always made myself get the 5:30 time that way if I woke up and didn't feel like it I knew I had a 2nd chance for the 7:15. But it was nice being on the bus at 5:30 nice and dark and quiet, I always sat right behind the driver, We had a cool driver.

I'm sure I mentoined I got smacked with the race card. "You hate Mexicans." Good luck on that one shithead.

I wish I didn't have to take the school bus when I was in school, especially after like 5th grade. I was always getting picked on, and in high school, beaten up on. The troublemakers sat in the back, and God help you if those were the only seats available.
My mom used to say she and her siblings used to have to walk to school, because they were in town. The school buses were for the kids out in the boonies. During the Depression and especially during WWII, not everyone had a car. My great grandfather didn't learn to drive until 65, took him that long to get the money together to buy a car and have lessons. My grandfather inherited the car a few years later after greatgrandpa died (of a heart attack, not while driving). I assume Dad learned to drive while he was in the army.
While I was in high school, they taught you how to drive for free; now they make you take driving instruction from a driving school.

I see the race card pulled WAY too often at DL. Everything's because of race. Minnie Mouse went inside when my kid was next in line because my kid's Hispanic. We asked for the front row and they said they already had someone waiting for the front, but I know it was really because we're black. I just laugh at them when they come into City Hall. I can't wait until Tiana is in the parks for meet-n-greets. It'll get ugly.
