<<<I was always amused that the only she things she ever claimed about
missing
about school were a prom (which she attended with a younger friend as an
adult) and riding the school bus (so she bought one to ride around in.) I
guess you can even do THAT kind of stuff later.>>>
I know. So far, I haven't seen anything negative. I keep telling my husband
we need to buy an old school bus and let the kids paint it however they
want. He screams Partridge Family!!!! at me, but I think it would be fun!
Although, he'd NEVER be caught dead in it. My 6 yr old wants to go to
school desperately so she can ride the school bus. That's her sole reason.
LOL As if I'm not weird enough to my family and others...imagine us
trekking around town in a big 'ol school bus!!! Oh, just the thought makes
me want to rush out and trade my boring conversion van in.....

Do you live where you can ride the city bus with her?
Maybe take the bus to go get ice cream or something?
We once drove three hundred miles so my son could ride on a steam
locomotive for forty five minutes.<g>
Buying a bus doesn't seem that bad!

Yes, and she's ridden that bus, but it's totally different from the cramped
little schoolbuses. The new city busses here have big spread out sideways
lounging seats and a raised up back end (over their newfangled chicken-fart
engines or whatever they have, natural gas turbines, nuclear reactors, I
don't know).
I was thinking of a little journey down Central Avenue with Holly. She wants
to go to Jones Surplus with me. Jones is a ratty old army surplus and used
office furniture place where the twitchy vets hang out to fantasize. I go
there to get nylon straps and other sewing supplies sometimes. Going there
on the bus would make it even more dangerously exotic. Then we could go to
the anthropology museum at the university, where I regret to admit Holly has
never been. (The boys have been, when they were younger, and for special
exhibits, but Holly was a baby.)
I have deprived Holly of some things!
But I also figure Holly's trailing now, but when the boys are grown and out
and Holly's the only kid left, she'll be living in luxury, Kirby's room as
her boudoir, her room as My Little Pony storage, Marty's room as a guest
room, driving a convertible... [Keith has a convertible Dodge Valiant (I
think it is, or a Dart) in a body and upholstery shop being the last job in
trade for some stuff he did/traded years ago, and he still checks on it
sometimes. It's his, it just isn't ready yet. It's just becoming more and
more antique, though!]
Ah, then we could go on down to the state natural history museum so she
could look at hee grossing me out)
And then back on the bus at rushhour. That could be fun, now that I can walk
a few blocks.

<<Do you live where you can ride the city bus with her?>>
Haven't tried that, but I suspect it's the big yellow version that is
appealing to her. <g> I should ask!
Buying a bus does't seem that bad until summer comes round with no ac!

Does it have to be a big yellow bus, or will any bus work? Jaiden(alomost 5) really wanted to ride the school bus, we talked to him about how you have to just sit there in your seat and wait till they get to your stop and its always the same. But when we ride on the city bus, there are lots of different ones that go different places, there is a wire that you get to pull so the driver knows that you want to stop, some times you ride up front, sometimes in the back, you can sit on your knees and look out the window...he has no desire to ride the school bus anymore cause he kid ride on the city bus when ever he wants to. Would that work for your daughter?

It has worked for my kids! There is a little bus system in this area
called the Southbank Shuttle that covers some ground on both sides of
the Ohio river. It used to be only a quarter per ride...and those under
about 4 1/2 feet tall ride free. It was a great way to get some bus
riding and see many sites in our city region.
