First day of school, jostling for position at the bus stop.
Rory’s acting cocky. Just back from Canada, he’s sporting a new puffa jacket. Superior filling, not the polyester of his peers.
The bus arrives and they swarm towards the open doors.
POP goes Rory’s jacket, and goose feathers fly.

Much enjoyed by this Canadian expat in the UK!
Thanks, yes I remember getting the school bus was survival of the fittest!
A belly laugh – great way to start the day! Thanks for the humor – love it.
Thanks!
This made me laugh! Well done.
