What Was She Thinking?

Gator Goes for Ride on Fla. School Bus

The alligator was spotted as it crossed the road in front of the bus, said passenger Wilfredo Santiago, 14, who asked the driver to stop.

At first she refused, but a group of boys talked her into letting them off about 40 miles northeast of Tampa. Four boys ran off the bus, found the alligator hiding in a hole and used sticks to prod the animal out. A fifth student gave them a roll of electrical tape from the bus to bind the alligator's jaws.

The gator was hauled onto the bus and off again at the home of two boys. Their father Jimmy Scroggins came home to find a crowd of kids around the calm alligator.

Why would she let kids get off a school bus, catch an alligator and bring it on board? Especially considering it's illegal to mess with gators.

I'm a Servant

James spilled a little orange juice on the kitchen floor and started walking off. I told him, "Get over here and clean that up, what do I look like?" His response? "A servant." A servant? Where did he learn that from? We had a good laugh - then he cleaned the mess. I'm not his servant.
