Waiting

Yesterday, Katie and Bethie packed up their school bags full of toys, grabbed their lunch boxes, and sat at the end of our driveway. I asked them what they were doing. Katie said, "Waiting". I asked them what they were waiting for. Bethie said, "The school bus". I felt badly. I knew they were excited, but there was nothing I could do. I said to them, "Ooooh. That's going to be a bit of a wait. The school bus doesn't come for another 8 days!" Katie was very annoyed with me by this point. She replied, "That's fine. We're waiting!". I sighed and went back inside.
