a father and his son are riding on a bus
when suddenly the bus lurches
and the bus driver leans on his horn for a good ten seconds
the son aged six turns to his father
gee daddy, what happened?
the father aged thirty five looks at his son
I don’t know, kid
go figure it out yourself
the son thinks about this for moment
okay daddy, I will
the son stands up and walks to the front of the bus
and making certain to stand behind the yellow line
he asks the driver about what had just occurred
and the driver aged fifty four tells the boy what had just happened
and the boy listens solemnly and without interruption
and after thanking the driver he returns to his seat
the father waits for a few moments and when the boy does not say anything
the father finally breaks the silence and asks
so what happened?
the son looks at his father and smirks
I thought you weren’t interested
the father pretends to cuff his son
don’t be smart
just tell me what the driver told you
the son is unable to contain himself
and begins to tell his father what the driver said
so apparently this fucking moron driving some piece of shit suddenly cuts
the fuck in front of the bus even though there are fucking signs everywhere
saying it’s a fucking bus lane and so anyway this fucking marvel of inbred assholery
keeps fucking trying to cut the bus off and that’s when the driver fucking gives him
the horn we heard and the fucking moron finally smartens up
and gets the fuck out of the way
the boy then sits back and looks out the window at the passing scenery
while the father realizes the boy has finished telling him everything
that’s it?
some guy almost cut him off?
the boy nods confirmation of his father’s conclusion but says nothing
seems a bit excessive, don’t you think?
I mean if you’re going to lean on your horn
every time you almost get cut off
you might as well drive with your horn constantly blaring
the boy laughs and nods again
that’s what I thought but obviously I didn’t say anything
the father agreed it was wise that his son did not say anything
and for the rest of the route home they rode in a companionable silence.
