#47: HS Crush
The story of this person’s grandmother and her future husband may raise a few eyebrows in today’s modern times, as it involves a high school student and a bus driver. The details surrounding their initial meeting and subsequent courtship are unclear, leaving many questions unanswered. However, what is known is that the grandmother learned of the bus driver’s interest through a friend who was also smitten with him. Unfortunately for the friend, her plan to have the grandmother talk to the bus driver on her behalf backfired when it was revealed that he was actually interested in the grandmother.
While the story may seem a bit unsettling from a contemporary perspective, it’s important to remember that attitudes and social norms were different in the past. It’s possible that the age difference between the two was not as significant as it would be considered today, and that their relationship was accepted within their community at the time. Despite the unusual circumstances of their meeting, it’s clear that their love story prevailed, as the two went on to build a life together. The tale of the high school student and the bus driver may not fit the traditional mold of a fairytale romance, but it serves as a reminder that love can come in unexpected forms and from unexpected places.
