On Monday, Mom and I took the boys down to Olympia to visit our rainy day happy place: the Hands On Children's Museum. Drake was focused on a single activity for 20 minutes at a time, and Flynn managed to not put everything into his mouth (except for the fake baked goods-- that boy loves his pastries!) The museum sits on the corner of a busy intersection adjacent to the grounds of the capitol. In front of the door is a street and a light. When we were getting ready to leave, we notice the school bus stopped at the red light... and the compact car that had rear-ended it.
How does one not see a school bus? It's bright orange and bigger than most vehicles on the road. Plus, it was stopped for a light. The bus didn't just jump out and surprise the lady. She must have been texting or chatting away when the accident happened. And if that wasn't enough to ruin someone's day...
Drake would not let us leave until he watched the tow truck take the "smushed" car away. Both boys were enthralled. And, my boys weren't the only ones. Ten little boys (with moms and grandmas in tow) lined the sidewalk watching this lady's car being hauled away. She had an audience during a humiliating moment. I'm glad she couldn't see all the people inside the museum watching her and her ordeal. I felt bad for her because of the crowd that had gathered, but then, she's the one who hit a bus.
