I've written previously about trips to and from school and about all the hilarious, mind blowing, sibling tattling and self outing that goes on within the 2 mile stretch between school and home.
With the sun rising later and later, I take the boys to school in the dark these days. This morning as we are approaching the school driveway Eli spots a school bus heading out on it's route with all it's lights on (probably while he noticed it today and not previously).
Also to explain further, Lucas and Eli's favorite sport these days, is to impart to one another how much smarter they are than the other. In Eli's most superior, know-it-all voice. He says, "Oh look. The school bus is going to go find all the kids." The next 30 seconds of conversation was Lucas trying to get Eli to understand that a bus has a route and the kids are picked up at the same place all the time and that the bus doesn't "find" kids.
Eli's response....."so!" If I'd only known one small word could stop the bickering so effectively. We are talking dead silence all the way into the school building. Not mad silence, just an acceptance to the end of the discussion. So for all the parents out there...remember this powerful (and mature) word to end all arguments...."so".
