Singing in the Bus

The other day Amber was telling me about John and Aliece and their habits of singing on the bus ride home from school every day. Amber met a woman in our neighborhood the other day. The woman had kids that are both John's age and Aliece's age. the boy was in the room first and Amber was asking him if he know John Andersen. The kid said, "Oh yeah, that is the boy that likes to sing on the bus. Man he sings loud too."

When his younger sibling walked into the room, Amber asked them if they knew Aliece. The younger sibling said nearly the same words, "oh, yes, she is the one that sings on the bus all of the time, and she sings loud too."

We have talked to the kids about it. John says that he and his friend are just doing missionary work by singing the hymns for everyone else to hear on the bus -- No convert baptisms yet though.

Aliece brags that she can sing loud enough to get the bus driver's attention (and she interprets that as a good thing, hmmmm).

Anyway, it reminded me of Dad always telling stories of when he would drive bus in his early married years. He would take the high school students on trips and he would sing the whole way to their destination.

There must definitely be a certain gene that is getting passed on here!
