The first few years Don and I were married I drove a School Bus. Back then the School District let us bring our buses home with us. Since most of the morning routes started before daylight it was safer.
Almost every time the Grands would come over to see us they would have to play "Bus Driver" before going home!
For some reason small children are fascinated with "Big Yellow Buses"! All the kids wanted to ride with me whenever I drove.
The school that I picked up on my afternoon route was near where one of our Grandsons lived. He wasn't old enough to go to school yet. My bus would go right passed his house coming and going. Usually when he heard me go by the first time he was waiting in the window for me the second time! He would always wave to me and I would wave back!
One day I called his Mom and told her that I was finishing early and If she would let me I would stop by after I finished taking the kids home and let him ride with me to my house. Well, he was so excited that he couldn't even take a nap! I drove past the first time and he knew I was coming back again so he started getting ready! Second time passed the house and all the kids on the bus were pointing up at his window and laughing!!! I looked up and he was standing on his bed "Butt Naked" looking out the window waving at me!!! He wasn't concerned that he didn't have his clothes on yet!! He knew I was coming back to get him!!
And I did! Too bad we didn't have cell phone cameras back then! But that's OK! I still have that picture in my mind!
