Driving a school bus...

[DisneyFan25863]

Tightest I've ever gone is 4 to a seat in freshmen year. That was painful.

When I rode the bus in Jr. High, the bus driver would ignore if you tried to sit by him/talk to him. Of course, this was the same guy who would, halfway through the trip home, turn BACK to the school if he thought it was too loud in the bus (which was, apparently, anything louder than a whisper).

Plus the bus always broke down. It sucked.

I pulled over to the side of the road if it was too loud.

if the bus was a tolerable noise level the kids could have the radio station they wanted.
They got loud, they got classical.
They got too loud, they got a bus driver that sat on the side of the road.

On the other hand, I did talk to my kids.

Yeah, I understand the pulling over (been on a few bus rides where they have done that), but this guy was just insane. He would freak out over EVERYTHING.

That was the up side of starting to be a school bus driver at the ripe old age of 20.
And a down side too...

I didnt freak out nearly as much.
