Apparently Christmas caroling on public transportation is against the law?
Took my family, everyone with phone in hand, and Little Pianos playing, Christmas caroling on a public bus this evening as it was 40 degrees outside. Made it through two whole songs and was halfway through Silent Night when the Middle Eastern bus driver pulled the bus over and told us to put our phones away.
He can't do that can he?
So, I tell him we aren't putting anything away - it's Christmas, for Christ's sake, and he can just deal with it.
So he tells us the bus isn't moving until we stop singing.
That's when people start yelling at us to shut up and turn our phones off when someone hits me in the back of the head with a half empty water bottle!
So, I jump up, accidentally bump into the driver who is now practically on top of me in the aisle, and accidentally knock the towel off his head.
Next thing you know, he and I are in a tussle. People shouting, my kids crying, my wife swinging her purse, and I, attempting to play the piano with my right hand while holding the driver in a headlock with my left, am all the while bellowing Hark the Harold Angels Sing.
