From the mouths of babes...

As far as school bus drivers go around here, I'm fairly young. Needless to say, I drove a school bus during pregnancy two years ago. I have 2 cute little stories that I can think of right now...

On my bus, there's a bunch of little, I mean really little ones (they're my favorite, shh don't tell). Anyways, I also shuttle our preschool kids from the preschool to the main school so they can catch their buses. One of the preschool classes has me come in and talk about the school bus, we talk about safety, how to sit, we sing "The Wheels on the Bus", it's a cute time. One of the preschool kids who rides my bus sees me walk in... he had really only seen me sitting down, but all the kids on my bus knew I was pregnant. His eyes grew so big and he says "Miss Tee, your belly is sooo big" and smiles... his teacher looks at him like oh boy, and the other kids all stare at my belly. I say "Collin, you know why my belly is so big" he says very matter of factly "yeah, because you eat too much". Straight from the mouth of babes!

As the kids are getting on the bus in the afternoon to go home, many of the little children like to give me a hug and tell me something very important that happened to them that day. One day, one of my little cuties gives me a hug then backs up with his arms still on my belly, looks up at me and says "Miss Tee... um... I think you're getting fat..." I smile and say "Bobby, there's a baby growing in my belly". He thinks for a minute and says "are you pregnant?" I tell him I sure am, then he says "well, then I guess you're not getting fat". The things kids say!
