Please Don’t Call Me Babe
>n’s bus driver is one serious piece of work.
Bus Driver: “You need to turn your lights off babe” ~Beckons toward my house where my porch lights are still turned on.
Me: ~Giving a look that hopefully conveys my anti-”babe” feelings. “Oh.. we got a late start this morning so…”
Bus Driver: “I try to get here early because the family after you guys are constantly complaining to the school that I am always late picking up in the morning… And I’m NOT.” ~Rolls her eyes
Me: “…..” ~Wondering why I’m being subjected to this story. Again.
Bus Driver: “Yes. The school had to talk to that Mom because she used profanity against me.” ~Raises her eyebrows and looks at me to make sure I am properly astonished.
Me: “……….” ~Trying SO hard not to laugh.
Bus Driver: ” I’m a GOOD bus driver.” ~Looks at me, obviously waiting for affirmation.
Me: “Well…. we have no complaints.” ~Still trying not to laugh.
Bus Driver: “Thank you sweetie. Have a blessed day.”
I think I can let this conversation and the humor involved just stand on it’s own…
But…. “…used profanity against me” and “I’m a GOOD bus driver” are absolute GEMS. Those two phrases have provided Tyson and I with much enjoyment over the last two days. We can’t stop trying to find ways to say them to each other. “I’m a GOOD bus driver” was said with so much feeling that it is almost hard to laugh about…. but obviously I’m a little bit mean and can’t help myself.
I give you free reign to use the “… used profanity against me” phrase.
I promise you’ll have fun with it.
I know I have.
Have a blessed day.

That’s rich! WHY did she care about your porch lights???? Amazing!
Nello, is your weak gag reflex and my constant talk of the poop house the reason that you haven’t been around my blog lately? That has to be it, right? There’s no way that you’re just too busy with other things! That can’t be it, because I’m a GOOD bus driver!
Okay, that just made my night!
Yeah, that’s a great story…I’m, in a word, properly astonished.
One of my favorites (and must be your bus driver lady’s) is the line in Urban Cowboy where Buddy (John Travolta) says to Sissy (Debra Winger) that there are too many onions in the tuna salad. She starts in with the “don’t complain…” tirade, and his response: “I ain’t complaining against ya!!!” If you and Ty need a laugh, I’m sure that movie would be worth a few.
thanks for the giggle… and i’m dying to try out the “used profanity against me” line… priceless! xoxo
