Tales From The Yellow Bus
Posted on November 18th, 2009 by MoverMike
Heard more from the alphabetized KINK library this morning as I’m sitting up at NW Skyline and Germantown Road: Toni Childs singing “Stop Your Fussin Boy”. Giosh where has she been? She hasn’t released a CD since 2000. I have every one of her albums and have almost played the grooves off, but haven’t played them at all in the last year. Here’s a refresher:
One of the last passengers to board is Matisse. This morning she wore a bright pink sweatshirt with eight penguin like birds standing in a row.
“Penguins!”, I said.
Close, but not Penguins.”
“What are they?” I asked.
She turned red and said, “Blue-footed boobies.” She giggled as did her girl friends.
“Sorry I asked!”
I love your “tales from the yellow school bus”!
It is a wonderful break from the more depressing news.
My husband is a teacher and old enough and mellowed enough now, that he can enjoy 2nd grade logic.
The other day a little second grade girl asked him if he knew what a donkey sounded like.
“Sure” he said and proceeded to do a hee haw.
The little girl looked at him for a minute and then said, “well, my cousin has a donkey and either it is broke, or you don’t know what a donkey sounds like.”
Thanks WO, I am always listening for new material. Hope you and your hubby are well.
