Ander's One True Love

Yes, yes, yes -- of course Anders loves the people and pets in his life, but the one thing that he loves, unconditionally, day in and day out, come rain or shine, is The School Bus. Fortunately, 1) we live across the street from an elementary school with handfuls of little students who ride The School Bus, 2) The School Bus usually makes it's appearance after Anders is up from his afternoon nap, 3) our house includes large, picture windows that look directly out at The School Bus, and 4) The School Bus not only passes by our windows, but comes to a complete stop, turns on it's red flashing lights, extends it's caution bar, and releases children from it's depths. How's that for entertainment?

If we happen to be outside when The School Bus appears, Anders heads straight for the front gate yelping "Dat! Dat! Dat!".



This is followed by a solid minute or two "chit-chatting" about The School Bus.
