Don’t Drive Them Crazy

It’s back to school time again and my MIL Ruth (dementia) has some tips for all you kiddies out there on BUS rider etiquette.

1. Always use the potty FIRST. Accidents brought about by “bladder vibration” may label you a high risk seat buddy. NOT a title you want.

2. If you fall asleep on the bus..refrain from drooling on the shoulder of the boy or girl next to you.

3. Don’t scream and shout, “Where the halllle are we going? Aren’t we THERE yet? Take me home. When’s the movie?”

4. Feeling hungry? Please remember.. only eat the “free, green foil, after dinner mints” that you’ve had sitting in your coat pockets for months.. IF there is ENOUGH to go around.

5. Dispose of your trash (used Kleenex) properly by shoving it under the seat in front of you.

6. No pushing or shoving your neighbor OVER.. in an attempt to NOT fall down the bus stairs.

7. Never talk to the strangers on the bus..even if they know your name and SAY you LIVE with them.

8. Always stay seated until the bus comes to a complete stop to avoid landing in your married neighbors lap.

Have a wonderful school year!
