Sorry kid, if you turn to drugs and crime that is your choice. Don’t try to blackmail your mother.

I rode the bus for all 12 years of school, (didn’t go to kindergarten), except for certain times in high school when I needed to be somewhere besides home right after school. I was too much of a tightwad to buy gas (it had gone up to .50/gal), to drive the 20 miles or so one way and my folks sure weren’t going to do it with the farm and all. Now many years later, I drive a bus to school every day. ;)
