"Lauryn! Guess what, my bus driver rammed into a car! It was awesome! We were sitting there for like an hour though while the cops came... but still... It was about time!"

I blinked a bit... Cool...

Then my little brother calls from school...

"Lauryn! Grandpa forgot to pick me up! Hurry n call him n tell him to come!"

...well it's only been 15 minutes since your school ended kid... god... but whatever.

Sure enough. Grandpa's not home.

So I shrug... n figure yawn lil bro will show up eventually. Back to the cartoons...

But then Tim shows up.

????

"It's okay... he didn't forget me..."

Well duh kid.

"...he was stuck in traffic for like an hour while the cops came to the scene of this crazy bus wreck..."
