Why the bus was late

Every Wednesday our school district has a 45 minute early release.  I used to think this was ridiculous, but since on a normal day Thomas gets home from school around 4:40, I'm learning to like his more "normal" arrival time on Wednesday.  Yesterday, however, his bus was over 15 minutes late in arriving.  When he got off the bus I jokingly asked him if the bus had gotten lost and he replied, "Yes".  I was a little shocked!  They have had a substitute bus driver all week, but yesterday's driver was a different one then the first two days.  I heard another boy tell the same story that Thomas told to me.  Apparently while the driver was holding the map (remember, no a/c on a school bus!) and driving, he lost his grip and the map flew out the window.  So this man was stuck asking a busload of elementary students where he was supposed to go next.  My goodness!  Just glad Thomas made it home safely!
