The zity bus

Connor's class went on a field trip on a city bus the other day.  No, they didn't take the city bus to their field trip... the city bus WAS the field trip.  They went on a 30 minute bus ride around the city.  (Budget cuts?)  Connor was very excited about it.

Connor: "Guess what Mom!"
Me: "What." 
"We got to ride on the zity bus!"
"I know!"
"Guess what Mom!"
"What."
"It has two doors, you go in one door and out the other door!"
"Cool!"
"Guess what Mom!"

"What."
"There is a yellow button but it was too high for me to push."
"Oh yeah."
"Guess what Mom!"

"What."
"When you push the yellow button there is a sign that says 'stop requested'"
"Oh yeah?!"
"Guess what Mom!"

"What."
"I sat next to Gavin on the zity bus"
"Oh good."
"Guess what Mom!"

"What."
"We pretended to put money in the... in the... money thing"
"Oh yeah."
"Guess what Mom!"

"What."
"You could have come because there was one extra seat."
"Were there any other Mommies on the city bus with you?"
"No."
"I think the ride was only for you and your friends."
"Yeah... but there was an extra seat... so you could have come."

Did you hear that!?  I missed my chance to ride around for 30 minutes on the zity bus.  Darn it!
