My sweetie and I were out for dinner with a friend last night. When walking in to meet our friend, a young girl smiles over and says hi! Apparently my husband, Kevin, is her bus driver. He's been driving a school bus either before or after work for almost 30 years!

So we smile and go on with our dinner. AFTER dinner, the dad stops us and says.....You're her bus driver?? The younger girl is nodding and saying yes he is, and we just smile back. Kevin says yes, she's on my route. And the Dad goes....You were MY bus driver!

The look on Kevin's face was incredulous. I don't think he walked in feeling old....but I think at that moment, he may have felt it!!

LOL.....good times.....

Oh that is funny! And the memories he must have, and now adult friends, because of his job.

Nice memory! I taught fathers and mothers of a lot of my children in my 30+ teaching career and living in a rural area.

What a great story especially when it is so rare for parents to be in the same town they grew up in now a days.

Yes. We married and live in the town we both grew up in. We almost moved in our early 20's, but then when I became pregnant with my first-born, we chose to stay. Haven't regretted that decision

It's a small world, though....truly!

Lol, cute story.

He should also feel loved. If the Dad and his daughter took the time to seek him out just to tell him that he was their bus driver, that meant something good to both of them. Yay to your DH!

That's a fun & heart warming story. He must have left a great impression on both of them.

Very cute story! I get that old feeling as well when I look at my nephews. They are all young men now and I remember changing their dad's diapers!

Well--tell him that he must have stayed young looking cause Dad recognized him right off,too!

I was an educator for 34 years--not a big deal that some of my high school students had kids that were in my classes cause I wasn't that much older than them when I started. But when I started seeing the middle school children of my former middle school kids I figured it was about time to become a full time quilter!
