Wanted:
School Bus driver for elementary school children needed for pick-up and drop off at various local schools.
Must be kind and tolerant towards school aged children, regardless of how bratty they are. Must drive at a reasonable speed, not as if you are in the Daytona 500. Must not pick off children at the side of the road (you don't get points for taking out children!) when wizzing by your route for the second time, because .... ooops! You forgot to drop somebody off at their stop (silly driver!) Must enjoy the antics of the PerpetualChocoholic family enough to actually slow down in front of their house to make it appear as if you may have stopped for their children had they actually been completely ready for the bus. Finally, must actually drop the children off at their designated stop in front of their house and not at the neighbours who aren't the least bit interested in obtaining extra children for their own use.
D'UH!
I want our old bus driver back!
Can you imagine that this driver actually told my children who were on their way out the door, if you want me to stop you actually have to be waiting by the road for me to pick you up.
The problem with this is that one of my kids just about got taken out by the bus flying by our property, just about on our snowbank, for the second time, while playing. Had she slipped, she would have been road kill! I'm afraid to get within 10 feet of the street when she's on the job.
Then she tried to drop them off up the street at a neighbours house. My 3, and two others. The neighbours were confused, we were confused, and worried she'd take off with them darting out in front of the bus trying to get to us. After a lot of yelling, arm waving and annoyed looks, they made it home without any problems....this time.
Well, she doesn't know what she's missing as far as morning entertainment goes by not stopping for the girls in the morning. But maybe that's not a bad thing. My kids are ready on time now because they know she won't wait. And quite frankly, if the crazy lady remains their driver, I may just have to get them to school myself. Which should provide much entertainment to those gathered at the school because I'm sure I'll embarass myself somehow (not to mention the kids) when taking them in.
I miss Bozo! (Yes, believe it or not, that was actually their favourite bus drivers real first name. Lucky man!)

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the same trouble with our bus driver. He's new, and he's forgotten to pick up my oldest on two different occasions in the morning, and forgot to drop him off in the afternoon.
I LOVED your post!
you can do that? drop kids off somewhere else without permission?
or is the dropoff like... a designated stop?
get them helmets. it might be in their advantage. heh.
Hey Fret, no they aren't supposed to drop them off elsewhere. I guess nobody told this driver that. Oh well, it was fun having kids while it lasted. I guess now it's somebody elses turn to raise the little darlings.
