It's funny you should say that. My oldest starts kindergarten in the fall and she will have to take a 40 minute school bus ride each way. My wife is also concerned she is "missing out". I told her I enjoyed riding the bus -- you got to hang out with your friends, joke around, show your friends your latest toy or comic book or hand-held video game or sony walkman, etc. I remember in grade 7, a bunch of us started a hockey pool. It was everybody's first hockey pool experience and one kid would always bring the sports section on the bus each morning and we would all pore over the box scores from the night before, and count up our respective points. I have a bunch of memories like that one. I told my wife I looked forward to the bus ride every morning and that it was fun. I can't imagine I was the only one who felt that way.
