Dangerous Pet on the Bus … or Not

A mom who blogs, shares the story of school bus driver who radioed the principal’s office to say that a girl on board had a live hamster and that this was not allowed. But, as a teacher assured the principal, the “hamster” was a toy brought in for show and tell. But, by the time the principal could return the call, it was too late.

Because the radio is used by all of the corporation and people at home with that frequency tuned in, the jokes and jabs started immediately. One was heard to say you have to be very careful with those dangerous hamsters. The bus driver will probably go to his grave with the “hamster” call sign.
