Hilarious skit! But,,, a grotesque exaggeration of my “growing up” post. I was born in ‘46, and growing up in the Fifties was so vastly different than growing up more recently, We even got exercise waiting for the school bus! Because five or six blocks worth of kids had to walk to the school bus stop. Today, it’s a curse getting caught behind a school bus, which stops at every few driveways!
Again, hilarious skit! Big Python fan here.
When I was in third grade the bus drivers went on strike, or something. The buslines were drastically reduced. For several weeks, we had to walk 2 miles to the highway for the bus to pick us up. In the afternoon, we'd be dropped off 2 miles from home. If it was raining or my mom was in a mood, she'd pick us up, but most of the time she'd say "Ah. It won't kill ya. Why, when *I* was a kid..."
