A Woman In Her Fifties Takes The Bus

Mr. L. and I scored 2 of 4 coveted spots as bus riding animal keepers chaperones for Joshua's field trip next week. Today his teacher (she of the former Colts Cheerleader fame) phoned his mom to offer us a get out of jail free pass chance to NOT ride the bus. "Some of the grandparents, if they're older, prefer not to ride the bus," says Ms. FCC. "Older?" Really? If she hadn't thrown in THAT word, I would have jumped at the chance to escape a captive bus ride with a hundred sticky, germy, excited-on-the-way-there,tired-and-grouchy-on-the-way-back second graders. The word was thrown down, however, so this woman in her fifties takes the bus. Just to prove she's as perky as any former NFL cheerleader.

Is there much use in hoping for a snow day as early as the 10th of December??
