I've Made A Huge Mistake

I chose to ride the school bus to and from my 6 year old's First Grade field trip instead of driving myself to the zoo and just meeting them there. Apparently, I forgot how "boisterous" and "deafening" 50 six year olds can be.

Pray for me.

Could be worse - 6 50-year olds. The Death of a Thousand Farts.

The ride home after lunch should be "fun".

how do you even fit in those seats?? I have been on one of those buses about 3 times in my adult life, and I always have to sit sideways.

It was a dumbass move. To deny this is to deny oneself the truth.

Best of luck! My dad was in a similar situation yesterday when he chaperoned a trip to the zoo for my younger sister's school. He left their jackets in his truck instead of taking them on the bus. That morning it was 50 degrees out; she wasn't too happy with him the rest of the day...

I have one all to myself. Apparently, none of the Moms want to sit next to me.

They didn't want to sit in the back with the cool kids? Lame.

The seats are surprisingly roomy. My knees touch the seat in front of me, but just barely.

OOH. No problems with that here today. Mid-80s, partly cloudy. I just have to carry around a couple of lunches.

as a foreigner in the US, I was unable to work (until I later got a green card) so although I had a car I rode the bus to school in my junior and senior years to save on that expensive gasoline. Knees barely fitting has been a lasting memory. that and rocking out to the walkman and discman, and being mocked by kids 2-3 years younger than me. ahhh, highschool, memories. "hey hot cheerleader, wanna ride in my... school bus"

Serious question: are any of the moms MILFs?

Yes, I would say that there are mothers on this trip that most men here would find attractive.

My wife sporadically reads my comments here, btw. LOL

At 50 you don't fart any more than you do at your age, you dumbo. But your brainfarts are stinker. Much stinker.

Give me an hour and yes, I'll be screaming that (complete with Austrian accent).

It was meant to refer to the chuckling crassness of a group of the middle-aged more so than their actual emissions. I'm almost certain that crassness extends across most cultures.

I'm not at the point of pissing my pants to fit in.

OH CRAP. As I write this, my daughter started a rousing rendition of "Let It Go" with about five other kids.

I understand why my mom never went on my field trips as a kid now that I've grown up. Damn 50 small kids get annoying real fast.
