missed the bus

Here's a true story that makes me laugh...and think that maybe I have a new motto in life.

Last Friday morning, just as first period was starting, the phone in my classroom rang, and the following conversation took place (name changed, of course).

Me: This is Leslie.
Mystery Caller: Yeah, I'm not there today.
Me: (scanning the room and wondering who is on the other end of the line) Daniel?  Is that you?
Daniel: Yeah.
Me: You're not coming to school today?
Daniel: No, I can't.
Me: What happened?
Daniel: My bus ain't come.
Me: Your bus never came?
Daniel: Oh, it had come.  I'm just not on it.

I'd say that pretty much sums up my crazy hectic life right now.  Oh, the bus had come.  I'm just not on it.

P.S. I'd like to know what game of 20 questions our receptionist had to play with Daniel before she knew to direct him to my room.
