The morning bus stop is one interesting place.
All the school age children and their guardians emerge from their houses at the same time each morning to join the micro-community that is the bus stop. At the corner:
- the children circle each other for small talk or to see if someone has something 'new'
- there is one other parent and I who have a hot beverage in hand
- babies are in tow - always
- younger siblings run up and down the grassy hill to the neighbors tree. every. day.
- they are giddy with excitement to go to school
- there are crazy hugs and kisses when we hear the buses very loud brakes around the bend
- the children have to line up at 'the crack' (in the road) so they wait until the bus comes to a stop.
- lots of pictures are taken
- and Friday is Flamingo Friday, but maybe that's for a different blog post.
Why are lots of pictures taken? I guess because we have anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes together!
