I just got a call from a number I didn’t recognize, and the man said, “is this Paige?” and I said yes. He said, “This is Jenna’s bus driver, and we’re going to be a bit late. Our power steering went out, and we’re waiting for a mechanic. So, you can come and meet us where we are, or I can just bring her home when we’re done here.” Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a call from any of my kids’ bus drivers before. Since John just barely fell asleep on the couch watching Amazing race reruns with me, I don’t feel like waking him up to go and pick her up, so I’ll just let her wait while they fix the bus or send a new one. “That’s kind of exciting,” I said to the busdriver, and said “I’ll just watch for her a bit late, then.”
What a nice man to call and let me know. I’ll have to cook up a package of those ready to cook Pillsbury cookies that I bought at $1 each and give him a treat for being so nice.
I’d call the school and also the district to tell them about his EXCEPTIONAL, I can’t believe this just happened to me, kind of service. What I wouldn’t give for service like that.
I got a call from Simon’s bus driver the week before high school started, letting me know where the bus stop would be located and what time to be there. He also told me he was looking forward to being Simon’s driver…maybe that’s where all the good men have gone……
