THE SCHOOL BUS

As a new parent (grandparent) watching my granddaughters go off to school is a terrifying thing. One, Angelica is from Texas and she is my responsibility. My other granddaughter Delaney also gets on the bus with her. Yesterday was their first day so with the school bus stopping at my corner (I live in the corner house) I felt more relaxed. I didn't let them take the school bus to school, just home. I felt better taking them myself on their first day. The school had only a half day yesterday so, according to the schedule, they were supposed to get out at 11:15 am which meant the school bus would drop them off about 11:45. WELL 11:45 came and went and then came 12:15 and no school bus. Gramps is getting worried. Did they get on the wrong bus or not even gotten on the bus. So with shaking fingers I called the school and was relieved to hear "the children are just now getting out". Relieved with that statement I waited and sure enough at 12:50 the school bus stopped at my corner and my granddaughters got off.
