Wheels on the Bus....

Ahhh, the first day of school is come and gone, and I see the need to give a little bus safety rules. You see, when people 'stop' for the bus at my house they seem to forget these.

1. That red stop sign and blinking red lights does not mean you can come slowly crawling up unil the blinky lights turn off and the sign goes away. It means stop now or me, the mama, will be forced to beat your behind.

2. School buses blinking their yellow lights does not mean speed up as fast as you can so you won't have to wait. Hello! That is a child out there waiting. I don't care if you don't know them. Slow the heck down and wait the five minutes.

3. School is now in session. For all that is holy, pay attention. If I see you screeching tires and almost drive into my ditch to avoid hitting the car in front of you who is paying attention to the rules, then I know you weren't paying attention when you were driving. And, no, you can't pay attention while texting, using your cell phone, or playing with your radio.

This was a public service announcement. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
