Smarts ain't everything...

My adorable daughter missed the bus coming home today - this, on the day that she was admitted into the gifted program. Oh no, the irony is not lost, particularly since they expect her geniusness to get to school on one bus, get on a separate bus to get to smartypants school, and repeat the process to get home. Wagers on the number of days this doesn't work as designed?

Remodeling the joint - pardon the mess!
