I can remember the 'big' kids sitting at the back of the bus throwing half eaten oranges at the back of our (nerdy, geeky) heads. It was horrible.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037350189933791568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-2844453290805383762010-02-10T14:26:45.735+01:002010-02-10T14:26:45.735+01:00Everyone-Thanks for all the kind words and indigna...Everyone-Thanks for all the kind words and indignation on Mallory's behalf.

And then slammed on the brakes because he "didn't see" a kid waiting? The school had no contact with the bus system because it's "contracted out" and thus no one contacted you until you heard from the doctor?! <br /><br />...<br /><br />...<br /><br />...<br /><br />There's no need to actually fill in the above space with my rant as it would have more profanity than I'd feel comfortable with leaving in a comment and I'm sure you share my opinion, anyway. Holy cow. But I'm glad Mallory wasn't hurt worse.

I would be raising a little bit of hell for that, right about now. <br /><br />(But thanks for the book reference! We need something for when the How To Train Your Dragon series is finished, as Captain Underpants #9 seems to be MIA...)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695354700835113117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-77168777938341785062010-02-10T09:24:37.610+01:002010-02-10T09:24:37.610+01:00Oh my!

I hope she goes back out to the bus next time and scares every kid with a book bag on the seat to death with "the look."<br /><br />I used to ride the school bus five miles to and from school. Doesn't sound like much has changed.<br /><br />I realize, of course, that you are in that foreign land that doesn't like litigation. However, it occurs to me to wonder whether or not it might not be a good lesson to the bus contractor that either everyone has a seat, with seatbelts (hear me laughing), or the bus does not move.<br /><br />I'm actually glad to hear that all the girls were crying. A comeuppance for not standing up for her when the big kids wouldn't share the seats. Gawd life is unnecessarily hard.<br /><br />I am so sorry that you had to live through that scare. I like the part about yelling her name in the hallway. I am, additionally, delighted that she is relatively OK and ready for her story. Hope she never takes no for an answer again, seatwise!!!<br /><br />You will never believe this. My word verification is: anger!!!!La Framéricainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879118710247405871noreply@blogger.com
