Best bus ride ever....
I've been reveiwed by the kids in my neighborhood and the surrounding area, and my bus ride home was given two thumbs up by everyone! Yes, I'm tooting my own horn, but hey, someone has to, right? Imagine driving home 50-60 elementary school kids with a pounding headache (which was actually the start of a nasty migraine that ruined my entire Thursday evening) and just wanting to get everyone home. How do you do it, without all the whining and tattling that truly goes on EVERYDAY on EVERY bus that is delivering little darlings from the elementary schools across the US to their homes? Glad you asked....MUSIC! Turn on the radio...drown them out! They will forget little Johnny spit in their face or little Suzy stomped on their toes once they hear sweet, sweet music. Instead, they will start singing along, doing air guitar and air drums, and dancing in their seat until you, the bus driver, almost have tears coming out of your eyes you are so happy! And once they are all delivered safely, you will forever have that image of them having a good time on the bus emblazened in your mind. And the next day, they will complain to their regular driver (I'm still just a sub you know!) that she never lets them have any fun on the bus and that she is boring and mean....and you will become known as the "cool driver!"

You are the "cool" sub.
Jude likes his AM bus driver, but apparently the afternoon drivers is what he calls "really crabby".
So maybe you should sub for him!
Awesome! Can I ride your bus too?
I'm so curious about your bus playlist. Do you have different favorites for morning vs. afternoon?
And, most importantly, do you have They Might Be Giants' "Here Come the 123's"? That's been our "bus" music all week. They also like Medeski, Martin and Wood, but not quite as much.
