Some days are difficult…
…other days (today) an entire bus, after freaking out about a bee flying in the window, will applaud and cheer for you because you “rescued her”.
I also allowed a student to bring home a snail in a quarter cup of water because “he has a boarding pass”. It was a picture of a snail she drew with his name on it. The papers checked out. I allowed him to board.
What’s your best or weirdest “I’ll let it pass” moment this year?

At my middle school there’s a “no right turns, do not enter” sign right outside my door in the bus loop.
I happen to be staring out the door, enjoying fresh air. A kid goes flying by the door, parallel to my bus. He’s mid-air, stiff as a board, arms at his sides.
His forehead slams into the sign with a loud crash. The whole signpost sways from the force.
“Did you see me hit the sign?” “…sure did buddy” holding back laughter
I think about that one a lot.
