The school bus is here,
but you are not getting off,
Lost child, where are you?

Humour me and share your first day of school haiku. Then bring me a beer.

seriously?
i might tell you mine privately…it’s about me and it’s embarassing.

Was your child seriously not on the bus? Please tell me you’re being silly. Oh my! That’s like my worst fear. I’m having a hard time with this bus thing.

I wasn’t kidding.
They put Emma on the wrong bus, which I didn’t know until (a) I had been waiting at the bus stop for an hour and (b)the bus pulled up and she didn’t get off.
Turned out she’d been put on the wrong bus, one that inadvertantly went on a mini-tour of Ottawa.
She took the whole thing in stride, but I was not impressed… as you can well imagine!
p.s. so Veg, where’s your haiku? ;)

That’s it! I’m homeschooling.
Seriously, wow!
Aren’t there checks and balances?
Ok, maybe not a haiku. Just my thoughts. Maybe I should return to school and learn more about haikus. :-)

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
