As it turned out, it wasn't a sucker bet. The boy made the bus yesterday. This was after quite a bit of strategic planning on his part. I am quite impressed with the thought processed he employed.
First, he went to his locker BEFORE his last period so he would have his jacket and would not have to go to his locker after and subsequently miss the bus. Next, he looked up and down the row (mind you his bus is on the edge of the circle, EVERYDAY) he picked a bus to get on and asked the bus driver if she could show him where bus #31 was. He said she stared at him for a few seconds, looked around and let him know that he was in fact standing on it. Hence, the boy made the bus and I would have won the sucker bet.
The boy's eyesight is not fabulous, he has contacts and glasses. As it turns out, he never put his lenses in for the first 3 weeks of being here. So NY, Philly, and many other places we visited were literally a blur. Our last visit to NY was a completely different experience, well, because he could SEE it. Now whether he had his lenses in or not yesterday, I can not recall, I would like to think that he didn't considering he got on his bus without noticing the big number RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR. Okay, enough said on this subject. Let's see what happens today.
