Day 348 – CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH: School Bus Driver Hall of Fame
CRAFT CORNER DEATH MATCH!!
THE THEME: SCHOOL BUS DRIVER HALL OF FAMERS
Gentle readers, let me tell you a true story ripped from the pages of my own life.
I probably had a number of bus drivers in my formative years, but I only remember one. She wore a kitty cat sweatshirt, from which she had removed the arms. Her hair clung to her scalp like a felted sheep, and she brazenly smoked her cigarette out the side driver window.
Her name was Thelma.
The very first day she picked us up, she screeched the bus over to the side of the road, yelled at us to be quiet, and when we didn’t comply, roared:
“My name is bus driver Thelma AND I AIN’T NEED NO LOUISE TO DRIVE YOU OFFA CLIFF!”
I live in awe of that woman.
For this theme, there are three other competitors:
The Harpy!
Yermits!
Sarah Apple!

That is the best bus driver story ever to be told.

Great line. You should have a baby and call her Thelma, just to hear it again and again.

A cigarette – see that would have made all the difference for my doll….
