Ikea shuttlebus

My Mum loves to go to Ikea. She likes to buy furniture. Occasionally, she just goes to visit her friends Richard & Michael, and have the $1 breakfast. (It's a good breakfast, with eggs & sausages & endless tea - they're things I don't really eat, but Mum says it's yummy.) Anyway, to meet her friends, we took the subway up to Ikea, and there's an Ikea shuttlebus that goes back & forth between the subway & the store. Mum has never before been able to take the shuttlebus. She could never find where it picks up passengers! She always just wound up walking from the subway to Ikea, but this time she was determined to find out where the shuttlebus stop was, and she did find it! There was no sign or anything, but fortunately, there were other people going for the $1 breakfast, so we all got to ride on the Ikea shuttlebus! It was fun! It was a really neat old bus with big windows, a door on the back of it, a curving wooden roof, and bars to swing on. While Mum chatted with the two other ladies riding the bus about how great the $1 breakfast is, I got to play on the bars. I've never gotten to play inside what was essentially a moving playground before! While I swung & spun around, everything bumped along, and too soon we were at Ikea!
