Film at eleven

AJ has been on another Magic School Bus jag lately. His toy school bus has been making all kinds of exotic journeys, packed with �kids,� who are played by a motley assortment of Fisher-Price figurines. Since the bus only came with two children, he has rounded out the class with a zookeeper, a farmer, a couple of auto mechanics, and assorted members of the royal family.

Yesterday, AJ decided to take seven of them outside for a special fieldtrip in the driveway. He decided they were going to the South Pole. I was cast as the resident penguin. After careening around the driveway for a while, the bus took off and eventually crash-landed into a snowdrift on the far side of the driveway. AJ wanted to dig them a snow cave to explore, but the snow was too icy for him to manage, so I helped him out. When the cave was finished, all the children jumped out and landed head-first in the snow. At this point, AJ screamed, �AVALANCHE!� grabbed the shovel, and began burying the class. And the shrieks of terror were heard far and wide across the land.

It was almost a tragic day in the driveway.

Fortunately, though, after some concerted digging, we found them all (I think) and put them back in the bus.

�So where are they going now, AJ?� I asked.

�Um� To the SOUTH POLE!� They flew across the driveway and landed in another snowbank. �Mommy? Can you dig another hole?�

I never knew the driveway was such an adventure.
