On her blog A Word in Your Ear, Sue Llewellyn has posted her word for this week’s A Word a Week Challenge: YELLOW. My photo for the challenge is one of those take-for-granted vehicles you see almost every day — a big yellow school bus. However, we’re not seeing ’em roll this week: School’s been called off for three days (and maybe more) for snow, ice, and record cold temps.
So, here’s to you, yellow schoolbuses. You transport our most beloved commodity — our children — and you help us get ’em to where they need to be to get educated. There’s nothing about that action that we need to take for granted!

I was once leading a group of Serbian sight-seers through downtown Los Angeles, when one of them ran towards a school bus, crying “Bart Simpson School Bus! Bart Simpson School Bus!” He had never seen such a thing before, except on television. You never know how American culture is perceived when it’s delivered around the world!

That is soooo funny! I would have never thought that the Bart Simpson bus would be the one the person would identify with! Thanks for sharing.

You know, Rusha, school buses always make me happy (even though I loathed them as a kid). You captured the thing I love the most about them…”the potential.”

Thanks for the feedback. I love any schoolbus since they represent education — and I’ve been a teacher, principal, mom, etc!!! Thanks for reading!
