The short bus? What does that say about his kids?

Doug Hayes, who is a grandfather to 10 grandchildren.

It says do the math instead being a rectum!

The public school system will probably make a stink about him using a yellow bus without government permission.

There is a Hollywood celeb who did this for his grandkids to go do pickups and drop offs,

Those kids are going to have a rough time in middle school.

30 years ago this would have been the subject of a news segment at the end of the 6:30 news. One of those feel-good stories.

Now the first thing I wondered is how long before some idiot online screams to the local (whomever) and somehow gets this shut-down.

They’re in a Christian school now, so will probably keep with it through HS, I hope! :)

How long before someone complains about it. Something, anything, just to complain. Just wait.

For the most part.....I think kids having lots of cousins in close proximity is very positive. :)

This is cool. :)

Well, because of passenger car capacity and child restraint laws we just can’t haul them all in one car anymore like we used to. lol

Now that is just downright adorable! It’s what most Grandads would do if the situation was right.
Enjoy it now, because soon the older kids may want the choice to ride with their school chums. But so what? Even if this only lasts for three or four years, memories are now being created for the whole group. Sweet memories that can never be taken away, not even by Father Time.

He should have a Children’s Storybook written about this,
one with big and colorful illustrations. His very own Partridge Family.

It even says, “SHORT B US” on the back. LOL! Sounds like a fun grandpa.

This may inspire the school to start up it’s own bus system
for the other students. Right now, there is no transit bus.
