Kasia has a truly unique talent. She can spot a school bus, anywhere at anytime. She can spot a "baby school bus" (aka The Short Bus) a mile away, doing 70mph, on a different street. Her abilities to spot a bus are so good that we've turned it into a game. While we're driving in the car, the first person who sees a school bus has to shout "SCHOOL BUS" and whoever does it first, wins.
When we first started playing, every time Kasia would spot one first, we would always say, "Oh no, you got me." Soon, Kasia started to inform us that she "got us." She no longer says just "SCHOOL BUS" anymore, but "SCHOOL BUS! GOT YOU!" But when you hear her say it, she doesn't pause between the words. So it comes out "SCHOOLBUSGOTYOU!"
And while Kara and I try to compete with her at this game, it's just not a contest. Unless we know where the buses are parked, Kasia will lay waste to us, hands down. It's amazing.
