Driving A School Bus Part 6

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
– Albert Einstein

Shut your b*tt hole up!

Today was a very crazy day. I was about to pick up elementary school kids and drive them home. Since the time they boarded the bus, they were already fighting for seats. They didn’t want to follow the seat arrangement list. I had to convince them that unless they followed the list we would not move. Finally, they agreed but the noise did not subside. Screaming and yelling continued while I tried hard to focus on my driving until I heard Weylon, the smart kindergarten boy, yelled: “Shut your b*tt hole up!”
This is not right and I have to make a correction. I stopped the bus and talked to Weylon.
“Weylon, why did you say that words?”
“Adam is making fun of me!” he said.
“OK making fun is not right but you should not say bad words like that. You know, all b*tt holes in the world are shut, so no need to mention it! Don’t do that again, please!”
But because of this b*tt hole thing I missed one stop and had to make a loop to get back to that stop. And the kids blamed me for missing their stop.
“Bus driver you do this every day how could you miss the stop?”
OMG! Kids are kids!

You will never be a good wife

Overheard on my bus this morning a conversation between Domino and Bailey, both kindergarteners, discussing their pocket money spending.
“How much did you spend yesterday in the cafeteria?” asked Bailey
“I spent all of my pocket money,” Domino answered easily.
“Really? You wouldn’t do that!”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Domino asked back.
“You’ll never be a good wife Domino!”
Wow, seriously, Bailey! I held myself really hard not to laugh out loud out of respect to those young ladies discussing a serious home economic issue! Are you wives aware of this important qualification for you to be a good one? If not, you are no better than my kindergarten riders! 😀😀😀Why do fish swim in salt wate

Why do fish swim in salt water?

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon, the last day of the week. It was a cool shiny day, I was driving the 25 high school students to their home. As usual not much was happening with driving high school students. Mostly they are quiet, enjoying their gadgets or talking softly among themselves. Today was a bit different when one of the students, Hondo, suddenly called my name and talk.
“Francius, why does fish swim in salt water?” he asked.
“What is it?” I asked.
“It’s a joke,” he said.
“I think it depends on the fish,” I said not knowing the answer.
“No. If they swim in salt and pepper they will sneeze!” 
“Oh, OK. I have one for you,” I continued driving, eyes focused on traffic.
“Shoot!” he said.
“If a chicken says all chickens are liars, is she telling the truth?” I asked.
“Oh oh, this is tricky. If she is telling the truth she is one of the liars, then she can’t be telling the truth. OK, I give up, what is the answer?”
“The answer is we don’t know because chickens don’t talk.”
Then more fun quizzes came up like why is it when a cat crosses a busy street she always looks left then looks right or looks right then looks left. Also, which one is the bigger, Mr. Bigger, Mrs. Bigger or their 3 month-old baby, what does a snowman say to the other snowman, and many more.
It was interesting that finally we broke the ice and start talking. Have a good weekend guys!
