This morning my daughter took an extra time to leave the house. She was slower than usual in putting her shoes and tying her shoelaces. We left the house by 4 minutes later than normal. We didn’t worry, because it was still much earlier than the bus arrival time. We knew we would make it.
Our neighbor boy joined us walking. While three of us were walking our way to the bus stop, we saw two kids were running very fast in our far distance ahead. We looked at each other’s face in bewilder. It could not be the bus arrived at this time. It was too early for the bus to come.
In next moment though, we saw the yellow school bus passed by the other street. For some reasons, the bus came much earlier than usual this morning. It was our very first time to have missed the bus. We were shocked.
I asked my daughter and the neighbor boy if they wanted me to give them a ride to school. They said they could walk to school. So, three of us started walking to school.
When we were passing by at the bus stop, our other neighbor mom pulled over her car in front of us. She was on her way to give her two boys a ride to school. It was nice of her that she offered us a ride. I jumped in the passenger’s seat. The four kids squeezed in the back seat. The kids seemed to be tight and squished, but they seemed to have enjoyed the squashing. They were laughing together.
The neighbor mom asked me if I was planning to attend the craft event at school. I didn’t know about that. Later I found out the teacher of my daughter’s class forgot to inform us about that. Anyway, we decided to attend the event together.
The event was to make an ornament for the Christmas tree. It was fun. I had a great time spending lots of time with the neighbor mom, so did our kids. If you are curious, our ornaments are these.
Our being late for the bus this morning brought us a nice surprise. All in all, it was a happy accident for us.
