A new project!!!

I find seeing your progress on these very comforting - art in process - and a good periodic reminder that projects require patience

And my mom said Don't listen to someone when you know they're wrong.

tl;dr You don't have to do what someone tells you if it's wrong

My mom told me this when I was 5 and it's served me well all these years. Take her advice.

She was at the school when the bus returned

On the ride home she asked what happened
I told her

And she said, Why would you listen to them if you knew they were wrong?

Obvs, because they were adults and I thought they'd solve the problem. But I knew that was the wrong answer. So I shrugged

They tell her to bring me back to the school.

Its dark out.

Meanwhile....
I guess my mom found the number to the bus company - no one was still at the school. Or no one was answering in the main office.

They were telling her all the kids made it home...so she'd driven to the school to find me

She radios the office for help. They want her to ask me for my name. They ask if I know my phone number.

I'm done trying to solve these people's problems. I stop talking and stare out the window.

The bus driver now really doesn't know what to do. She's panicking.

The kid won't answer!

She's also not supposed to return to the school with a passenger. She doesn't know what to do.

I'm done offering suggestions. I'm convinced I'm never getting off this bus. I told her this was the wrong bus. I told the monitor. No one believed me because I was 5.

She pulls over. I can SEE my house.

I suggest she drop me off in sight of my house and watch me cross the street Nope

She's not allowed to let me cross a street

I suggest she radio the office to call my mom and she can walk to the intersection and get me. We're right there! Nope

She can only let kids off at approved stops

and this bus route went left. And the driver kept telling me she couldn't deviate from her route. I'm the only kid left on the bus and I think maybe now she'll drop me off. Nope.

We pass within 20ft of my yard. Twice. But she can only drive her assigned route

I've been on the bus for an hour plus
