Robin’s 2 Cents:
A mother asked her young son, as they waited for the bus, to tell the driver he was five years old, because then he would ride for free.
As they got into the bus the driver asked him how old he was.
“I am five years old,” said the
little boy proudly.
The driver had a son of his own that age, and smiled.
“And when will you be six years old?” he asked.
“When I get off the bus,” answered the boy.
