I’ve decided that we cannot homeschool after all.
In fact, Ali will be attending public school as soon as possible. So that she can ride the bus.
…because I really, REALLY want to be able to do what this guy did – Wave at the Bus.
170 days of school,
spending less than $50 dollars total,
he managed to costume up uniquely (and hilariously) every day and wave to his high school son’s school bus:
As the betrothed…
As the typical Dad…
As the rebellious teenage daughter…
As every man-born-in-the-70’s dream girl,
As the mom-next-door,
As a world leader,
And as Ali’s favorite,
And, on the last day, celebrating his one leg by dressing up as a Pirate.
…plus 162 other costumes that you can go see on his wife’s blog journal of the entire year.
Brilliant. Utterly brilliant.
He has now set the bar at a new high.
If I make it through life without ever doing anything to this caliber to my children, I will consider myself a complete and utter parental failure.
I saw this on the news last night – I can’t imagine if my dad had done this to me when I was in high school. I would have been totally mortified. Of course.. I’d love to do it to my kids :) I only hope they take it as well as this guy’s kid did!
I can’t imagine how you couldn’t love that – I mean, his Dad had to have been the coolest Dad in the school!
Thanks for posting that link! I stumbled across it earlier in the week and meant to go back to see. What a hoot! What a great way for the kids on the bus to start their day. I can see you out there doing the same thing!
Thanks!! I only hope I can be that creative one day!!
That is brilliant! Poor kid. :)
Hahaha! LOVE it!!
I’ve seen that blog! Sooo funny. Sounds like the kid was a good sport about it though. You’d have to be if your dad was that much of a joker! :)
I saw this on someone else’s blog. Love it!
I look forward to reading your blog journal of something exceptional like this soon! :P
I only hope I can come up with something that amazing!!
I read this story the other day, too and immediately realized not being able to do this was the only downside to our homeschool experience!
Yes, so very, very true. Dressing up at the breakfast table every morning just doesn’t have the same oomph to it.
How awesome that dad is that involved to even care how his son get to school! Love it
This is just too funny. I had read about it but not seen the pictures until here. Hilarious. I homeschool my kids, and riding the school bus was always something they wanted to do. Until they started taking youth trips on the church van. That taught them that bus/van rides weren’t all they had romanticized them to be. ha.
I homeschooled all my life (and am homeschooling my kids), and I must say, I always wanted to ride on a bus, too!!
This is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh this morning!
Hilarious!! Umm..I wonder what outfits you could come up with??
