Bus Driver Suspended For Letting Kids Play With Alligator

LACOOCHEE - It was just another bus ride home as kids from Pasco Middle and High Schools laughed, played, zoned out.

Then, 14-year-old Wilfredo Santiago noticed that Miss Hattaway missed his stop. She drove down a road near a pasture to drop off another student.

That's when Wilfredo saw the alligator. It was 4 feet long and crawled across the road and into a field where a calf began kicking it, kids said.

"Can we catch it? Can we catch it?" some of the students yelled, according to Jimmie Scroggins, father of two of the teenagers.

Bus driver Sherry Hattaway said no. Then, students said, she changed her mind.

2. Without even reading the content...

...the subject line of this post is the funniest thing I've read in a while.

I'm just envisioning some crotchety old hick busdriver encouraging kids to go play with an alligator.

LOL thanks :)
