Just an easy street scene today... A cooler day, I am relieved to say.

A conversation on the Number 8 bus between the driver and a passenger sitting nearby:

Bus Driver: I enjoy being a grandmother more than I ever did being a mother.
Passenger: I enjoy being a grandmother, too. It is different to being a mother...

I could tell the passenger wasn't quite sure how to respond to such a statement and moved the conversation swiftly on to listing her children's and grandchildren's accomplishments and successes.

I can't comment on being a mother or a grandmother as I am neither, but I can say I do love being an aunt!
