A School Bus

I am not sure what it is about a School Bus but I recall when I was younger that I thought a Bus was the coolest thing. I remember that I couldn't wait to be big and ride the bus. But what is it about a bus that we think is so cool? Right now my 2 year old is obsessed with School Buses. Every time we are driving to school to drop off her brother, she gets excited when she spots a bus.

It's actually pretty cute at first, due to the fact she can't talk that well yet. It sounds more like she is shouting "Stool But", but of course I know she is talking about the "School Bus" that just past us! After a while of driving and no more school buses it gets a little annoying because she keeps saying, where stool but? She eventually grows angry because she wants to see one and its to late in the morning. I usually tell her the buses are sleeping now!

I really think it's funny how when we are young we are so excited about going on a bus. But once we actually step foot in one, they stink. Literally the bus stinks when you are driving behind it and when you get inside it smells like rubber, especially on a hot day. There is nothing exciting or pleasant about these things! Not to mention the bumpy ride that usually make me nauseous and the annoying sound of the squeeky breaks!

This wonderful "School Bus" theory we all get in our minds is pretty sad. Once we experience a bus we usually prefer not to ride the bus. To be honest I don't sing to her "The Wheels on The Bus Go Round & Round" I don't want to encourage her that a bus is a wonderful vehicle. I think I may make up my own song about the bus, but it wouldn't be child appropriate!

But because she is my daughter and I don't want her to fear the bus, I will allow her to think they are the coolest thing ever!
