Places on the bus: The child

When you are a child, say from 1 or 2 to 11 or 12 years of age, you instinctively wish to go up stairs and sit at the very front of the bus, this is for 2 reasons firstly you have an instictive interest in the outside world as you know so little about it and this gives you the best view in the bus, and secondly it gives you a feeling of power as this is the same position that the driver sits in and with you're childish imagination you imagine perhaps that it is you driving the bus.
next: the teenager.

What about sitting on the second levl of the bus?

That would be very interesting, because we don't not have two level buses in America.

I might be frightened that the bus will fall over. (giggle).

the second level yeh thats what i meant when i used the phrase go up stairs.
over in blighty we call them double deckers, but i didn't know that you don't have them in america, in certain parts of europe they have double decker trains.
