55. Luxury! We didn't have school busses when I was a lad....
...we had to walk 40 miles to school every day, through 4' of hard-packed snow, on the bloody stumps where our feet used to be before ma had to cut them off for firewood every morning. We had to bring an extra sibling along every day, just so we'd have something to eat along the way.

But you try tellin' that to the kids today, and they don't believe you.
