Confession time (not a quote):
so…. my bus broke down a couple weeks ago and we’ve been borrowing a spare and in the interim (since they keep asking about it) ((and since it’s taking so long)) I’ve been regaling the kindergarteners with fictional updates on the Old Bus, regarding about “experimental upgrade” to being The First Flying School Bus™ like how they’re installing a crank operated rope ladder for kids to get on and off the bus or how they had a setback on the rocket boosters
of course I am definitely planning on letting them down gently when we get Old Bus back and I have to explain that the tests didn’t work and the bus was too heavy to fly after all or something, but they’ll try again next year
but I was telling them today about how the mechanics were supposedly testing it at an air field today to see if it would fly and the kids were talking about how much time we would save on traffic, like flying over the train tracks instead of stopping, and it struck me I’ve lost all sense of how far is too far lmao like I am lying to children… but I’m also like encouraging their imagination or whatever???
and I’m trying not to outright lie, saying things like “well they have to test fly it, right?” and “well, how do you think we could get on the bus when it could fly” and be more suggestive or whatever but I am cracking up inside I think this is so funny and simultaneously lowkey evil this is truly my villain era
