On the day:
25/04/2012
On the way:
It's raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring...
The little boy's brown strap trainers swing far above the the sloshy floor of the bus. He's well bundled up against the cold and damp, blue scarf neatly arranged to flop out at the collar of his hooded jacket. Broad smile and wide, lively eyes.
He went to bed and bumped his head...
And his beanie is navy with red Spider-Man symbols on it. And big white Spidey eyes on the front. What a cool mum he must have.
And couldn't get up in the morning...
Does have, sitting next to him. A smile full of bashful charm and white teeth, like her son's, and gentle, doting eyes accentuated by her pulled-back hair. She's neatly dressed like the boy - black coat, black boots, blue jeans. And they're chatting constantly, pleasantly, his flutelike trill contrasts with her smooth, low tones. And singing. What a positive start to a commute. What a positive start to a youngster's life.
Rain, rain, go away...
Oh well, that's one little disappointment he's going to have to get used to.
