adventures in Driving the 14 passenger van

I drive a 14 passenger van everyday for the company I work for. Today when I dropped off the kids at our facility one of the kids said to me, "thanks for the ride Mr. Shea" I realize there's nothing all that funny about that statement upon further review... the funny part was that he said it like I was some kind of taxi driver taking him to work. It gave me a good chuckle.
