The high school I attended had a special academic program called International Baccalaureate. Since it wasn’t the school in my zone, they had to send a special bus to pick me up, along with about four other people who were attending the same program.
This special bus was an actual short bus! It had the handicapped ramp, and all types of decals and stickers on it declaring its status.
As if it’s not socially damaging enough to be bussed to a separate town because you’re one of the “smart kids”, it’s even worse when you’re getting off of a short bus every morning in front of the “normal kids”. The day I got a car was a glorious one indeed.
I really, really want to see pictures of you in a helmet. There’s almost nothing I want more at this exact moment.
LOL! Joe, I don’t think I even own a helmet of any kind. I sold the bike helmet when I sold the bike. Maybe I should go buy a hockey helmet, they look an awful like like the safety helmets worn by the mentally challenged. Then I could play hockey too. If I could skate.
Av, that would definitely put a dent in my self image!
Chad, yes I owe this post all to my little epiphany from yesterday. 
Short buses aren’t bad. Everyone looks really happy riding them....they wave lots!
I’d settle for hockey helmet photos.
I didn’t even ride a bus ‘til I was in grade 6 and switched schools… I have no idea how this is relevant. I suck.
Short bus? You? 
Totally have a picture of you in my mind of that. HEEE
Picturing someone drooling and wearing a helmet now. LOL.
I’ve been on that bus. More than once.
I hadn’t found this post all that funny until I finished and re-read your post from yesterday. I then nearly lost my current sip of coffee.
