Having always been educated at home, our youngest nomad son, Trevor, has never been on a school bus. He posed this question about them while we were all in Ebony (our trus
ty SUV) on our way home.
Trevor: “Why don’t school buses have seat belts?”
Me: “I believe they are designed not to tip over.” (I had never thought of this much, and gave my best off the cuff response.)
Trevor: “Well, the Titanic was designed not to sink, and we all know how that turned out.”
Touché, my young Padawan. Touché.
