Sitting on the bus

triskellianThis morning I was on the same bus as at least one of the boys next door. He didn't see me, but sat quite near me, loudly discussing Buffy with a couple of other kids. With factual errors. Argh. The temptation to turn around and say 'no, Buffy didn't get back together with Angel after Riley - which show have you been watching?' and 'I've seen half of series 7 already, ner-ner-ne-ner-ner' was enormous.
My neighbour is apparently going to marry Michelle Trachtenberg, which would be quite cool ;-) His friend, however, isn't going to marry David Boreanaz, because he's 'really old already'.
I rather like sharing a bus with schoolchildren. They're entertaining. I'm already on the bus by the time they get on, so I can see them waiting at the stop as the bus pulls up. They're all going to the same school, which is next to the university campus where I work, but not all of them get on my bus. Sometimes I can watch them peering in to see if their friends from two stops down are on this bus or not. Sometimes they guess and get it wrong, and there will be one person from a group, stranded on the wrong bus, and trying to fit into a different group for the duration of the journey.
Listening to their conversations is fun, too. Lessons and parties and homework and people getting off together. I bring a book to read on the bus, but if the conversation is interesting, I'm just pretending to read it.
