I am so smart

The past couple of days, I have been having trouble getting #1 and #2 to the bus stop. After helping them get dressed, I remind them that if they miss their buses, they are walking to school (I don't drive late boys). It seems to have worked, too (knock on wood). Oldest gets this "I am NOT walking to school" attitude and Middle boy gets a little freaked and tells me that 'it is a long" way to school'. Fear is a good thing. Obviously, I would drive them if they missed them.
