The Day Ginger Snapped part 25

“Ginger, is that you?” Jeremy asked after I stood and began walking toward the front of the bus.

I had sat, glued to my seat, while everyone exited the bus at the last stop. I saw Jeremy watching me in his rear view mirror, but I wasn’t sure if he recognized me or was just waiting for me to leave like everyone else had.

I tried to smile as I answered, “Yes, I’m Ginger and if I’m not mistaken you’re Jeremy. Am I right?”

He smiled a genuine smile as he answered. “Yeah, it’s me. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to talk to me or not. You’ve been sitting on this bus for hours.”

I could feel my face turning red. “You mean you knew who I was the whole time?”

“Well, I wasn’t sure at first, but you stayed on the bus and didn’t take any pictures. Plus, you kept staring at me and I heard some of the other passengers talking about your phone conversation.

I threw myself into the seat behind his and tried not to cry. “I’m sorry. I was just trying to work up the courage to talk to you.”

Jeremy laughed. “I completely understand. I wasn’t sure if I should talk to you or just let you get off the bus.”

“Well, I’m glad you decided to talk to me.” I was surprised to find that I actually meant what I was saying.

“Listen, I need to return the bus to the garage. Would you like to come along for the ride? We can grab a bite to eat at this little diner that’s close by and then I’ll take you to your car or your hotel or something.”

“Uuummm…sure. I think that sounds like fun.”

Jeremy turned around and put the bus into gear. As we started moving, he said, “Sit down, shut up and hold on!”

We both laughed and it felt good.

Truck day and belly buttons

Today was truck/career day at school and that's always good for some laughs. I really hope someone warns these presenters to be careful before they ask a bunch of Kindergarten students if they have any questions. lol!

There was a guy there who works to help rid homes and businesses of bees and other animals. He has an old firetruck that he's painted with a beehive to advertise his work. He showed us his truck and explained that he needed to long ladder to help him get to the top of some of the buildings in town. He talked about safety and how he leaves home each morning with 10 fingers, 10 toes and a belly button and how he wants to go home at the end of the day with 10 fingers, 10 toes and a belly button. He was really funny! Well, when it was time for questions there were a couple about his truck, but one little boy was insistent on wanting to see that belly button the guy kept talking about. lol!

My favorite presenter of the day was the milkmen. There were two guys (one said he was 85 years old) that were milkmen back in the day when the milk bottles got delivered to homes. I loved hearing their stories! They were even driving one of the original trucks that they used to drive back then. The guys said it was the truck that replaced the horse and carriage deliveries. It was really cool!

What a week! There are 25 more school days until summer vacation so I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The only problem is that at this point I'm not convinced that the light isn't from an oncoming train. lol!

I made a dreaded stop at Walmart on my way to school this morning. YUCK! Well, in my rush to get what I needed and get out of that place I ended up leaving my cart in the electronics department and walking away with someone else's cart. I got to another department grabbed something else and added it to my cart. I immediately realized that something wasn't right. However, instead of noticing the things that were in my cart....I noticed the things that weren't in my cart. I freaked out thinking that someoe had actually stolen items out of my cart. lol! So, after further inspection and before anyone else noticed what a dork I am I took off for the electronics department again. My cart was sitting right where I left it and no one was around so I made the switch and got out of dodge. I'm sure that if someone just happened to be watching me on the security camera ---they got a really good laugh!

As I was getting into my car, I heard someone calling my name. I looked up to see one of the girls I work with. She asked what I was doing there that early in the morning. Hoping that she hadn't seen my cart fiasco, I explained that I only go there when I really have to and when it's really early.

One of my students got into trouble in the lunch room today because he kept singing some song very loudly even after being asked to stop repeatedly. The only explaination he would give me was that he saw ants on the floor. I didn't get it and tried to get him to explain....

ME: Why didn't you stop when the grown up asked you to?

HIM: I saw ants on the floor.

ME: You kept making the loud noises after they asked you to stop because you saw ants in the floor?

HIM: Red ants!

ME: You were singing because you saw red ants in the floor?

HIM: Yes!

ME: (Still not understanding and getting a little worried) Did...did the red ants tell you to sing?

HIM: No.

I still wasn't able to figure out the connection between seeing red ants on the floor and singing very loudly, but I decided it was probably a mystery that was better left unsolved.

***I know I shared this same sentiment a month or so ago, but I was asked to redo it using this font. I figured that if one person wanted it, there may be others that could also use it. So, here it is. lol!***
