The Short Bus Hates Me

(scene: RRTHUR's car (YES leadies, THAT Rrthur.) Xmastime playfully bantering with the Short Bus, who is in the back seat. RRTHUR gets out of car to go in to grab dinner; all of a sudden Short Bus' tone goes from "playful" to "Mob boss.")

SHORT BUS: Okay Rats. You need to go home.
XMASTIME: What? We're clowning around! (trying to get a 'five')
SHORT BUS: No. Go home.
XMASTIME: But...but we're buddies, right?
SHORT BUS: No, we're not buddies.
XMASTIME: Really? Why not?
SHORT BUS: (a little TOO matter of fact, shrugs) I don't like you.
XMASTIME: But...we're friends!
SHORT BUS: Nope. I don't like you.
XMASTIME: Why? What do you mean?
SHORT BUS: I just don't like you.

(end scene)

This is what it's come to. A three year-old is gonna be what finally sends me to therapy. No dignity.
